WHY I practice 5R

Because its the new law

It feels good!!!

So I can tell Allah that I have done

my best for Mother Earth

WHAT IS 5R?

RETHINK

REPAIR

REUSE

REDUCE

RECYCLE

HOW I 'RETHINK'

• Choosing my rubbish• Learning about biodegradable material and

looking out for special 'codes' - while they are recyclable they can be toxic as well

HOW I 'REPAIR'

• mending old buttons on shirts or zippers on skirts

• giving new purpose to 'junk' - such as mugs become small pots/ vases

• replacing watch straps or batteries to items

(picture from GOOGLE)

HOW I 'REUSE'

• cutting out preloved clothes into dish rags or table clothes

• printing out personal notes on used paper• packing food in washed, cleansed

biodegradable food packing container• how about reusing your old Raya or Xmas

decorations

HOW I 'REDUCE'

• when it comes to reading material, opt for a digital copy instead of on paper if possible

• if you're heading to the same direction, consider carpooling to work

• invest in energy saving apparatus or appliances. for eg: LED lights

HOW I 'RECYCLE'

• its tedious work but have a try at sorting your rubbish - paper, plastic, cans etc..

• donate to charities or to those in need• earn extra personal cash by participating

in local carboot sales or pop up stores

HOW I FIRST STARTED ...

MY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS... some ideas and examples to kickstart your project

PERSONAL CARE PRODUCTS

CLEANING ITEMS/PRODUCTS

DRINKING BOTTLES

FOOD RELATED PACKAGING

CAN ITEMS

DISPOSING ELECTRONICS SAFELY ..

• DO BEAR IN MIND HOWEVER THAT,

" ... ENDS DO NOT JUSTIFY

THE MEANS.."

HENCE ....

• clean your bottles or cartons first before sorting them

• sort the items into clear, identifiable , degradable plastic bags or containers

• if you are extra nice - label them accordingly for the garbage collector to see

• place them BESIDE the bin, not IN the bin

• MOST IMPORTANTLY

"GET YOUR CHILDREN INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS : EDUCATE AND

ENCOURAGE THEM TO PARITICIPATE IN HOUSEHOLD WASTE HANDLING"

• CURRENTLY,I am working on trying

to improve on my recycling space

I still have a lot to do - a lot of inspirations on cyberspace nowadays..

Thank you!

• GOOD LUCK IN YOUR VERY OWN 5R PROJECT!!
