LET'S RETHINK
Rethinking is when you take more time to think about your next action before doing it.
To help the Earth get better we need to rethink about our daily activities.
5 R's
Let's learn about the five Rs; Recover, Reuse, Repair, Recycle & Reduce
RECOVER
Recover means that we fix items that can't be recycled. For example; finding an old teddy bear with rips, mend it back and play with it again.
REUSE
Instead of throwing away an item, let's think creatively because you might be able to turn it into something new. For example, a jam jar can be washed out and used for water when painting.
Most items can be reused for another purpose.
REPAIR
If something is broken, torn or split sometimes you don't have to throw it away you can fix it back up, just like the teddy bear. Learn a new skill such as sewing to repair those clothes with holes.
RECYCLE
Recycling is so important as it's the process of collecting materials that would be thrown away as rubbish and transforming them into new products. Recycling helps reduce waste and energy.
REDUCE
To reduce means to minimise the amount of resources we use and waste we generate by being more sustainable with our products and materials. For example, turning off the light helps reduce electricity energy.
