WHY I practice 5R

Because its the

new law

So I can tell Allah

It feels that I have done
good!!! 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!!
