Recycling: giving materials a second life, sentence 5

Best of all is to reduce what we use, next to reuse things, and only then to recycle: that is why the saying goes "reduce, reuse, recycle" in that order.

Who acts: we, that · What happens: be, use, reuse, recycle, reduce · To what, where: things, order

This is a sentence of the lesson «Recycling: giving materials a second life» of the chemistry course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (we, that), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R3-conj-first ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
