Question

which action is not a strategy for protecting the environment?

recycle

reuse

refuse

Explanation:

To determine which action is not an environmental protection strategy, we analyze each option:

• "Recycle" (reprocessing materials) is an environmental strategy.
• "Reuse" (using items again) is an environmental strategy.
• "Refuse" (typically meaning to decline, not a standard environmental protection action like the 3Rs: reduce, reuse, recycle).
• "Reduce" (minimizing consumption) is an environmental strategy.

C. refuse
