Waste is like when you have a big box of crayons, and you use only one color, leaving the rest untouched. Waste happens when things that could be used are thrown away or not used at all. Imagine if you had a yummy sandwich, and you only ate a tiny bite, throwing the rest away. That’s waste because the sandwich could have been eaten by someone else or saved for later.
Think of waste like a toy that you don’t play with anymore. It just sits in the corner, collecting dust. When we don’t use something, it becomes waste. It’s like when you pour too much milk in your cereal bowl, and you can’t finish it. The milk that gets poured down the sink is wasted.
Waste is also like when you leave the lights on in a room after you leave. The electricity is being used, but no one is there to enjoy the light. So, it’s important to use only what you need and save the rest for when you need it later. By doing this, we can help take care of our world and make sure there’s enough for everyone.
