The 5 Rs
Make the planet cleaner for you and me.
Refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, recycle!
Say no no, say no, no.
You don’t need it so say no no.
Refuse, refuse, refuse.
Plastic bag? Plastic bag?
Do not take it, you really don’t need it.
Refuse, refuse, refuse.
Plastic bag? Plastic bag?
You do not need it, so you need to refuse it.
Refuse, refuse, refuse.
I don’t need a plastic bag.
I refuse to take a plastic bag.
Refuse, refuse, refuse.
Make the planet cleaner for you and me.
Refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, recycle!
Stop and think before you buy.
If you keep on buying things you don’t need,
The waste and landfill will multiply.
Reduce, reduce, reduce.
There’s no excuse!
Don’t waste your money on things you want
Because it is filling up our landfill dump.
And if you do, it will make a mess.
In the future you must confess.
Reduce, reduce, reduce.
There’s no excuse.
Make the planet cleaner for you and me.
Refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, recycle!
Before you throw me out
Have a look, have a look
Can you make me into something new?
Repurpose, repurpose, repurpose.
Be creative and make me into something new.
Repurpose, repurpose, repurpose.
Do you have an empty jar? Fill it up with glue.
What about old magazines? Turn them into a pair of doll jeans.
Do you have an old cardboard box? Fill it up with pairs of socks.
Repurpose, repurpose, repurpose.
Make the planet cleaner for you and me.
Refuse, reduce, repurpose, reuse, recycle!
Is your plastic bottle empty?
Don’t throw it out... don’t throw it out!
Fill it up... fill it up!

Is your paper blank on one side?
Don’t throw it out... don’t throw it out.
Use the back... use the back!
Reuse, reuse, reuse your paper.

Take it home... take it home.

Paper, plastic and glass too.
You can recycle all of these things.
Recycle, recycle, recycle
If it is a plastic bottle
Yellow bin, yellow bin, yellow bin
Just remember it’s like the sun
Recycle, recycle, recycle
Paper, plastic and glass too
They go in the yellow bin.
Recycle, recycle, recycle.
