Read the text, then decide if the statements are true or false Cutting down on waste Hello everyone! My name is Jennie. Today I want to talk about a very important topic and that is cutting down on waste. Here are some simple tips and simple actions that you can add or incorporate into your lifestyle to help look after our planet. Before I talk a little bit about some actions that you can take into changing your lifestyle to help the environment and to help cut down on waste, I just want to jog your memory about the three Rs, which are always important to remember and that is ‘Reduce’, ‘Reuse’ and ‘Recycle’. Reducing waste actually helps to prevent waste being produced in the first place, and it’s probably one of the best ways to start off with because if you don’t have waste in the first place, then we don’t have the problem of disposing of it. An example of how you can do this is perhaps by choosing loose fruit and vegetables at the supermarket rather than the ones which are packaged in plastic. Also, using a reusable plastic or metal bottle and reusable plastic containers are a great way to reduce the amount of plastic you accumulate. In my family, we use a lot of ice cream tubs. We use them to keep our leftover food and it works perfectly fine. The second R is to reuse items. Instead of throwing things straight into the rubbish bin, why don’t you see if you can reuse them again? I like to do this a lot with gift bags, which I get when I receive presents for special occasions. I usually keep the gift bags or the boxes and reuse them when I’m giving a gift to someone else. You can also do the same thing with plastic bags. Instead of getting a new bag every time you go food shopping, just bring your old ones along, and that way you’re cutting down on the amount of plastic that you accumulate. And finally, recycle. Recycling turns waste products into a new item, or, as I like to say, it gives them a second life. I’ve recently been clearing out my wardrobe and throwing away some clothes that I no longer like or perhaps don’t fit me any more – and the money from selling them goes towards helping a charity, so it’s a win-win for all. 27. The meaning of the Three R's: Reduce, Repair and Report A. True B. False 28. We should choose loose fruit and vegetables instead of the plastic-wrapped or packaged ones. A. True B. False 29. Jennie uses ice cream tubs to keep leftovers. A. True B. False 30. Every time Jennie receives a present, she always throws the gift bag straight into the rubbish bin. A. True B. False 31. According to Jennie, we cannot reuse plastic bags. A. True B. False 32. Recycling turns new products into waste. A. True B. False

      My name is Tsukasa Richard Nakai. I am 33-years-old and I am an avid Star Wars fan! My favorite character is Darth Vader. I’m currently involved in the Best Buddies Friendship Program, Ambassador Program, and the Jobs Program.

      I’ve been part of the Best Buddies chapter at UCLA since February 2017 and I am currently their Buddy Director. I’ve been an ambassador since March 2017, and through the Jobs Program, I now work as a part-time employee in the Best Buddies California State Office as an administrative assistant… I love it!

      My life before joining Best Buddies was one of self-loathing. In October 2000, I had been diagnosed with Asperger syndrome. I had never fully accepted who I was as a person and I was always very self-critical. Despite my achievements, including becoming a published author and a college graduate, I would never praise myself or give myself a kind word. The one person who helped me on my journey of self-acceptance was one of my colleagues, Tori Braden. When she was Chapter President at UCLA, she asked me if I wanted to become an Ambassador.  I replied, YES! — thinking that I wouldn’t get asked to do too much, but I was mistaken!

      One month after I participated in the Ambassador Training at UCLA, the Program Supervisor of our area called me and asked me if I wanted to do a speaking engagement for one of our sponsors at the Best Buddies Challenge: Hearst Castle! It wasn’t until I started interning at Best Buddies state office in California, that I found out Tori had advocated on my behalf. This was unusual; we barely knew each other, but she took a huge risk on me and it paid off for both of us.

6. Why doesn't Richard Nakai completely accept who he is?

A. Because he had an inferiority complex about his achievements.
