Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. (2.0 points)

            The most obvious advantage of living green is that it helps reduce environmental pollution. This is achieved by practising the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. The first R involves carefully choosing products to minimize waste, such as items with minimal packaging. It also includes buying only what is necessary to avoid overconsumption. Reusing means repeatedly using items instead of discarding them, like donating old clothes, which helps reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills. Recycling focuses on separating materials like paper, metal, and plastic to be processed and used for new purposes, reducing waste and conserving natural resources. This not only protects the environment but also helps save energy used in the production of new materials.

            Living green also brings economic benefits. Reducing energy and water consumption helps lower household bills, for instance, by using energy-efficient appliances or water-saving techniques. Reusing and recycling materials save money by decreasing production costs, as making new products is both wasteful and expensive. Moreover, recycled products are often more durable than new ones, providing a cost-effective and eco-friendly option.

            Lastly, going green improves health. By reducing air pollution, it makes the air cleaner and healthier, leading to fewer respiratory illnesses and medical visits. Choosing organic foods and green household products also eliminates harmful chemicals that could lead to health problems. Additionally, supporting environmentally friendly farming and production methods contributes to a safer planet and a healthier future for everyone.
