What Is
Reduce?
"Reduce" is like being smart about what we use.
It's the first and most important thing we can do
to help the Earth. To reduce, we try not to make
as much garbage in the first place. We do this by
using things carefully and not taking more than
we need.

For example, turning off lights when you're not


using them and not wasting food on your plate.
We also choose products that have less wrapping
or packaging because that makes less trash. The
goal is to use our stuff wisely and not waste it.
Ways to reduce your
waste
1.Bring your own reusable bags, containers, and water bottles
instead of using single-use plastic.
2.Shop at bulk stores where you can bring your own containers
to reduce packaging waste.
3.Compost your food scraps to reduce the amount of organic
waste going into landfills.
4.Purchase products with minimal or recyclable packaging.
5.Choose reusable cloth towels and napkins instead of
disposable paper products.
6.Donate or sell items you no longer need instead of throwing
them away.
7.Repair items instead of replacing them when possible.
8.Choose durable and high-quality products that will last
longer.
9.Use rechargeable batteries instead of disposable ones.
What is Reuse
Reuse is about giving things a second chance. Instead of throwing something away, we
find new ways to use it. For example, think about a glass jar that once held pickles.
Instead of tossing it in the trash, we can wash it and use it to store marbles or craft
supplies. When we reuse things, we don't have to buy new ones, which saves the Earth's
resources and energy. It's like giving old things new jobs!
Ways to reuse your waste
1.Turn old jars into storage containers.
2.Use plastic bottles as planters.
3.Make paper mache bowls out of old
newspapers.
4.Create art out of your old bottle caps and
aluminum cans.
5.Use old clothes to make rags for cleaning.
6.Use egg cartons to start seedlings.
7.Make a bird feeder out of a plastic bottle.
8.Use glass bottles as vases for flowers.
9.Create a compost bin for food scraps and yard
waste.
10.Use old magazines to make collages or
What Is
Recycle ?
"Recycle" is like the magic trick of turning old
stuff into new stuff. We collect things like paper,
glass bottles, plastic containers, and metal cans,
and they go to special places where they get
turned into brand-new things. Imagine your old
homework becoming a new book or your old soda
can turning into a new bicycle! Recycling is
important because it keeps our planet clean,
saves resources, and stops too much garbage
from piling up in big, stinky dumps. It's like giving
things a fresh start!
Ways to recycle your
waste
1.Separate your waste into recyclable and non-recyclable
materials.
2.Research your local recycling programs to know what
materials they accept.
3.Opt for products and packaging made from recycled
materials.
4.Use reusable bags, containers, and bottles to reduce
waste.
5.Compost organic waste, such as food scraps and yard
trimmings, to create nutrient-rich soil.
6.Donate or sell items that are still in good condition
instead of throwing them away.
7.Repurpose items, such as glass jars or cardboard boxes,
for storage or decoration.
8.Use old newspapers or magazines for wrapping paper
Activity
Bring the three "R" concepts to life with a
colorful and informative poster or drawing.
The "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" message
can be illustrated in a unique and engaging
way, so let your creativity flow and create a
visual masterpiece.
So, remember, we can "Reduce" by
using things wisely, "Reuse" by giving
things second lives, and "Recycle" by
turning old stuff into new stuff. That's
how we can help our Earth stay clean
and happy for everyone!
