Answer 1

It is better than reusing it only once, but they should recycle the bottle.

Answer 2

In terms of conservation, the actions of using a disposable water bottle several times and then throwing it in the garbage can be evaluated as follows:

- It is better than using the bottle only once, but they should recycle the bottle.
OR
- It is better than using a glass to drink water from the tap, but they should recycle the bottle.

These responses acknowledge that using the bottle multiple times is a step towards conservation, as it reduces the consumption of multiple bottles. However, encourage recycling to further minimize the environmental impact of the disposable bottle.

Answer 3

To evaluate these actions in terms of conservation, we need to consider a few factors: reusability, recycling, and overall water consumption.

Using the disposable water bottle several times is better than using it only once because it extends the lifespan of the bottle and reduces the demand for more bottles to be produced. So, options 1 and 2 are correct in recognizing this.

Recycling the bottle is also important for conservation. When a bottle is recycled, the materials can be repurposed and used to create new bottles or other products. Recycling helps reduce waste and conserves resources. Therefore, options 1 and 2 both mention that the bottle should be recycled, making them the correct answers.

Comparing using a disposable water bottle to using a glass to drink tap water, options 3 and 4 acknowledge that using a bottle is better in this scenario. Glass production requires more energy and resources compared to plastic bottle production. However, they still emphasize the importance of recycling the bottle.

The last option, option 5, states that using a disposable bottle is better than reusing it only once but criticizes the person's water consumption. While managing water consumption is good for conservation, this option does not address the significance of reusing the bottle or recycling it.

In summary, the correct responses would be options 1 and 2 since they acknowledge the benefits of reusing the bottle and stress the importance of recycling it.
