Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm learning about the water cycle in school. What is evaporation?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Evaporation is when the sun heats up water in oceans, lakes, and rivers, turning it into water vapor that rises into the air.<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
That makes sense. What can we do to conserve water?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
We can conserve water by turning off the tap while brushing our teeth, taking shorter showers, and fixing leaks. Every little bit helps!<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
I'll try to do that. Is it true that recycling helps conserve water too?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, that's correct. Recycling helps reduce the amount of water needed to produce new products. For example, recycling a ton of paper saves around 7,000 gallons of water.<|im_end|>
