Hi, I'm 3R! My name stands for Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. I travel to help fix problems and make the world a better place with simple, eco-friendly ideas!

I am riding my bike towards Lake Mastis, enjoying the fresh air and the smooth ride. Suddenly, I see a lot of plastic waste. I collect it and take it home with me. At home, I make a pencil case out of plastic bottles. I decorate it with candy wrappers. Then, I decide to create a team to clean up the shore every day. We can pick up the plastic and give it a second life. Now, the area around Lake Mastis will be clean. Let’s go to other places. 

When winter comes, stray animals cannot find enough food. I was walking around. I saw a few cats and a bird. They opened it. I fed the young people. I talked to my friends, they should feed them too. Please put some food and water for stray animals. They need our help.

I met my friends at the beach park in Mersin. We prepared a house for cats. So the cats can come in and sleep in a warmer place. The parking lot ranger came and greeted us. He talked about the importance of saving animals.

Let's clean up the beach

    Simple beach The Robot 3R was decided to visit a very beautiful country - Bulgaria he had never walked. He decided to travel to hot air balloon. 3R like to visit the Black Sea beaches to see if people keep them clean. 

    When he arrived, the day was nice and warm. He landed his balloon and walked on the beach. He saw that there were many dumped plastic bottles, cups and packaging of different foods around. There were several trash bins on the beach, but they were overcrowded. 3R gathered a group of children and began to explain to them how everyone had to clean up behind and throw the garbage into waste baskets. So the beach will be clean and even more beautiful. 

    The robot brought containers for separate waste collection and explained to children that all plastic waste should be discarded in the yellow container. Explained that when the plastic is recycled, it can be used for insulation or to make plastic car parts. He also warned that if we leave the rubbish outside the containers, some animal could swallow them and die. In the blue container, paper packaging should be cast. 3R explained that when recycled 1 ton of paper, about 1 ton of wood was saved. This means that fewer trees will be cut, and the less trees are cut, the fret the air will be. 

    All children listened with interest, and one of them said, 

    - I know that glass packs are thrown into the green container. Can you tell us what they are used for? 

    - Of course! In the recycling of the glass, less energy is used than in its manufacture, and harmful air emissions are reduced - responding 3R. 

 - So you know how important it is around us to be clean. Come on now we can clean the beach! – Offered 3R. The children called their parents and began to collect the waste. 

 - I'm glad I met you. Thank you all that you take care of nature, but you have to do it permanently. Do not allow rubbish on the beach, in the forests, in the parks or around your blocks. Tell more people how important recycling is. Collect and clean!

The robot went for a walk through the forest on a sunny day and found a lot of garbage in the garden. He came up with the idea to clean it all up. He started to manage all this and after a while he got tired. When he rested, he asked the people if they could help him, they agreed. And they all sorted it out together. When it was sorted, everyone happily went their separate ways.

On a cool day, I'm skateboarding in the countryside. I see cars emitting exhaust fumes. I continue and see some factories without filters. All of them cause air pollution. This is harmful to all living conditions. so I have to go and teach people how to stop air pollution.

Reduce or stop air pollution? 

What to do - let's think?

* Factories must use filters.

* You must use public transport.

*...........................................

Can you suggest something?

Water pollution

    Once I finished my incredible journey in Turkey, landed on a green meadow in Bulgaria, near a river wrapped in fog from pollution. I had no time to enjoy the scenery because when I looked at the water, I saw that she was full of plastic and any junk. With every movement of the water, the waste moved along with the fog of chemicals that drained. The river was in trouble and I was here to help. I will only use clean technologies! I will not be like those huge ships that pollute! I will go with my little solar boat that does not leave traces of pollution!

    With my boat, I started going down the river, while solar panels gathered energy from the sun to drive the motor. 

    Plastic bottles, old fishing nets, bags and glasses carried downstream. 

    „Not only we have to clear the water! We have to learn people how to stop the pollution!“ – I said aloud and turned on my little drones. They began to collect the waste along the shore and filter the water, returning it clean to the river. 

    Besides waste in the water I saw chemicals. My drones collected oil, plastic and chemicals and transferred them to special containers. Gradually the water began to recover. The animals watched from the shore began to gather and enjoy the change. 

    The river begins to breathe again! 

    I went to people and showed them how to use solar energy as well as how to pass electric vehicles and environmental boats. Every river, every lake, every planet needs people's actions to save the water and protect the planet from pollution.

The robot went with a group of kids to the Baltic sea with a bus. While they where there they saw a volleyball court by the sea. It was full of trash. The robot ask's the kids - what is wrong here? then the kids understand that they need to clean the volleyball court. 

And when they will clean the volleyball court they will have something to do. When they were done they played volleyball with the robot. Then they go swimming in the Baltic   sea and sunbathe in the hot sun. The kids and the robot were proud of their work. 

    On the Earth there is a lot of trash because of us. We need to stop pollution.
