How much rubbish do you and your family throw away every week? When 
you throw something into your 
dustbin
, do you know where it goes next?
Rubbish
from your house is put into large holes in the ground called landfill 
sites. After many years, 
earth
and 
grass
cover the hole, but we can’t use the 
land to grow food, and we cannot build on it, because it is not safe. sometimes 
pollution
from the rubbish escapes into the air or into 
rivers
and 
streams
. 
Clean air, land, water – these are necessary for life, and we are destroying 
them. People’s need is increasing and we are producing a lot of rubbish. 
Possibilities of 
some
countries
are big, so they produce much 
unnecessary
things. Unfortunately, we are only recycling about 10 per cent of our rubbish, 
and we should re-produce them. We throw away
