Reusability

Have you ever had a toy that you can use over and over again? That's kind of like reusability. When we talk about reusability, we mean that something can be used multiple times instead of just once.

Let's say you have a plastic cup that you use for your juice in the morning. Instead of throwing it away after you're done, you can wash it and use it again the next day. That's reusability!

The idea behind reusability is to reduce waste. Instead of constantly buying or creating new things, we try to use the things we already have. For example, instead of buying a new shirt every time we want to wear one, we can wear the same shirt multiple times before washing it.

Reusability is important because it helps us take care of our planet. When we constantly use things and then throw them away, we create a lot of waste. This waste can harm the environment and the plants and animals that live in it. By reusing things, we can help reduce the amount of waste we create and keep our planet clean and healthy.
