Let's Live with the 5R Lifestyles....

To leave a positive impact on Mother
Nature, we should all adhere to the 5R's, which are Refuse, Reuse, Reduce,
Recycle, and Repair. When you make the 5R's a part of your life, you
help do your part for the earth by;

1. extending the life of landfills,

2. reducing air and water pollution,

3. saving energy,

4. conserving natural resources, and

5. encouraging environmental manufacturing.



Here's how you can live the 5R lifestyle.



REFUSE

- Do you really need that plastic bag? Think twice before saying 'Yes!' Each
year, an estimated 500 million to 1 trillion plastic bags are used worldwide,
with the majority ending up in landfills. Styrofoam also has a devastating
impact on the environment.



REUSE

- Make an effort to reuse your containers and products whenever possible.



REDUCE

- You can make a difference by reducing your usage of single-serve water
bottles. Always bring your own water tumbler. You would have saved approximately
166 disposable plastic water bottles from the landfill a year!



RECYCLE

- Choose products with recycled content. Most glass containers, aluminum and
steel cans are made from recycled materials.



REPAIR

- Whenever possible, repair your home appliances or products rather than
replacing them. (Always repair if it involves new appliances. If a home
appliance is less than 10 years old, paying for a repair may be a cheaper
alternative.)
