Hi Beth, how are you today?

0:25

I'm very good, thank you, Neil. How are you?

0:27

I'm very good. What are we talking about?

0:30

Well, today we are talking about waste.

0:33

So, that's what we call things that we don't want anymore,

0:36

like rubbish or things that we've used, and we now don't need them.

0:42

So, for example, after I've eaten some crisps as a snack,

0:47

the... the packet is rubbish – it's waste.

0:51

Are you good at dealing with waste?

0:54

I think so. I mean, at home we recycle.

0:59

We can recycle glass, plastic, metal, card.

1:05

All the usual things that we recycle here in the UK. What about you?

1:10

Yeah, I do what I'm supposed to do.
