Simple Machines at Home

I have many simple machines in my house and never even thought about it. The first simple machine is a bottle opener.






The second simple machine that we use is a door knob. The door knob is used  by millions of people everyday.


                                                                     




The third helps us see when it is dark. It is a light bulb.







The fourth simple machine in my house is a fork. It helps me get nice and "healthy".
The final simple machine that not only I enjoy but so does my dog are our blinds. I like to let sunlight into our home and Lucy loves to look outside.

How Do I Reduce-Reuse-Recycle at Home?

The way we reduce at my house is by turning off all the lights. I am always making sure that all lights are turned off to reduce our use of energy.



We also try to recycle as many things as we can which is usually all our plastic water jugs. We sometimes also try to reuse them by using them for tea or some other beverage.




Something else that we try to reuse at my house are all the plastic grocery bags .  We end up with a lot of plastic bags after grocery shopping. So we try to reuse them by using them for trash bags or anything else.
