请认真阅读下面短文,并根据短文内容回答问题。
Do you know that tennis is one of the most wasteful sports on the planet? Tennis balls are difficult to recycle, and millions of balls end up in landfills. Once there, it can take as long as 400 years for the balls to decompose(分解).
The International Tennis Federation(ITF) serves as the governing body of professional tennis games. Last year, ITF brought together ball makers, tennis officials, and recycling companies to solve the tennis ball waste problem. They are trying to find answers to the following questions. Can a recyclable ball be developed? Can ITF change rules so balls can be used longer in professional tennis games? … Nowadays, professional players need a new set of balls after every nine games. This practice results in great waste.
Jamie Capel - Davies, the head of science and tech at ITF, says that there are four levels in the effort to reduce waste. “Firstly, we try to reduce the number of balls being used. Secondly, we should use balls as many times as possible. Recycling is our third choice,” he explains. “The last level is to place the balls in landfills.”
However, it is not easy to make changes. Luckily, many recyclers have already taken steps to reuse tennis balls. One company collects used tennis balls and turns them into pet toys, while another company reuses tennis balls for a kind of flooring material.
1. How long does it take a tennis ball to decompose in landfills?
2. Why did recycling companies join ITF?
3. When do professional players need a new set of balls?
4. What can tennis balls be reused for?
5. How can we reduce waste in our daily lives? (请自拟一句话作答)
