The 5 R's technique of waste management involves rethinking consumption habits, reducing waste, reusing items, recycling, and repairing items. Rethinking means finding ways to conserve resources by changing how products are used, such as using rags instead of paper towels. Reducing means buying items with less packaging in bulk and concentrated forms. Reusing means using items like reusable bags and refillable containers. Recycling means participating in community recycling programs and properly separating materials. Repairing prolongs the life of items and diverts waste.

- 9. Rethinking means thinking about how you use everyday products and figuring out ways you can conserve resources by changing the ways you use those products. Rethinking means figuring out ways you can reuse, renew and recycle products.
- 10. Do you use paper towels to clean with or do you use rags that can be washed and reused? Do you take long, hot showers that use lots of water and energy to heat the water or do you take short, smart showers where you wet your body, turn the water off, soap, and then turn the water on to rinse your body?
- 11. Do you leave the water running when you brush your teeth? Do you plant trees and other greenery that will refresh the air and keep our environment cleaner? Do you conserve products like paper and plastic and reuse them whenever possible? Do you participate in a recycling program at home, school and/or work? Do you use reusable bags when you buy groceries?
- 12. Buy wisely to reduce your use of resources. The keys to buying to reduce waste are: Purchase products with the least amount of packaging. Buy products in recycled and recyclable containers. Buy in bulk and use concentrated products. Buy only what you can use and use what you buy Use refillable containers such as coffee cups and thermoses. Minimize the use of disposable items.
- 13. Think about a product’s “lifecycle” before you buy. If you rethink what you are doing, and learn to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials, you also have to remember to do what it takes to recycle. Remembering is also important. Finally, if your community has a formal recycling program, there are rules about how to separate paper, plastic, glass and other recyclable materials. If you don’t know what those rules are, call the office that manages the program and ask for instructions.
