Recycling

I read Recycling, a book in the Oxford Bookworms series. 
It was written by Rosemary Border.

 How much rubbish do you throw away in a year? It could be more than a tonne or less than a hundred kilograms, but it's still too much. The Earth is disappearing under a mountain of rubbish - often poisonous - yet, as this book shows, much of this rubbish could be recycled. Recycling can save energy, materials and money - it may also save the Earth.

 Thanks for this book, I could learn about recycling. It was very surprising for me to know that we probably throw away about seven kilograms of rubbish every week. Also, I was surprised to know two recycling facts. One, old bottles can be made into glass fibre. Fabric made from glass fibre is long-lasting, and it will not burn. The other, we can also send thousands of telephone messages at once along one thin glass fibre. But it isn't made from recycled glass.

Glossary
acid: something which burns without heat
decay: to break up naturally
dispose of: to destroy something that is not wanted
fabric: materials, e.g. cotton, from which clothes can be made
