Lùghdaich, ath–chleachd agus ath–chuairtich

Reduce, reuse and recycle

What could we do for the sake of climate change?

We must all think about how we can protect the environment, and lùghdachadh (reduce), ath–chleachdadh (re–use) and ath–chuairteachadh (recycle) are the things that we should all be doing daily.

But there are other things we could do as well.

Dhèanadh | An Dèanadh

We saw the verb dèan (make, do) in the conditional tense in Cuspair 9 and Cuspair 23.

This verb is useful to us when talking about things which would benefit the environment.
