Question

john only washes his shirt after he has worn it several times. john is helping the environment by
a. wasting water
b. reusing water
c. recycling water
d. conserving water

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Wasting water is harmful to the environment, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: Reusing water means using the same water for multiple purposes, but John's action is about reducing the frequency of washing (thus reducing water use), not reusing water.
• Option C: Recycling water involves treating used water to use it again, which is not what John is doing.
• Option D: Conserving water means using less water. By washing his shirt less often (after several wears), John is reducing the amount of water used for washing, thus conserving water.

Answer:

D. Conserving water
