Where does the rubbish go? We bury most of it in a land fill (垃圾填埋场), but the landfills in many cities in the U.S. are almost filled. Many of the old landfills have poisons that can make water and soil (土壤) around them dangerous to your health. What can we do to help?Follow the three Rs: REUSE, REFUSE, and RECYCLE. REUSE You dont need new bags every time you go to the store. Reuse the old onesand you had better use cloth bags, not plastic ones. REFUSE Stop buying anything that is overpackaged. Also look for products that come in boxes made of recycled cardboard (硬纸板). RECYCLE People can use cans, newspapers and plastic bottles again. So dont throw them away. Send them to the recycling center.根据短文内容,判断下列句子正（A）、误（B）。( ) 1. If we go shopping we neednt take any bags because there are enough plastic bags.
