MINI PROJECT : 5R AT HOME MINCISENSEI.COM 2016 #kitarsemula #recycle #minci5Rproject
Because its the new law It feels good!!! So I can tell Allah that I have done my best for Mother Earth WHY I practice 5R
RETHINK REPAIR REUSE REDUCE RECYCLE WHAT IS 5R?
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
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 'RECYCLE'
MY HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ... some ideas and examples to kickstart your project
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!! #kitarsemula #recycle #minci5Rproject
