Three it's a magic number

Yes it is, it's a magic number

Because two times three is six

And three times six is eighteen

And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R

We've got three R's we're going to talk about today

We've got to learn to

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

If you're going to the market to buy some juice

You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste

And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes

You could try them on before you buy some more of those

Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse

And if the first two R's don't work out

And if you've got to make some trash

Don't throw it out

Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,We've got to learn to

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Because three it's a magic number

Yes it is, it's a magic number

3, 3, 3

3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36

33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and

3, it's a magic number

Three it's a magic numberYes it is, it's a magic numberBecause two times three is sixAnd three times six is eighteenAnd the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is RWe've got three R's we're going to talk about todayWe've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleIf you're going to the market to buy some juiceYou've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your wasteAnd if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothesYou could try them on before you buy some more of thoseReuse, we've got to learn to reuseAnd if the first two R's don't work outAnd if you've got to make some trashDon't throw it outRecycle, we've got to learn to recycle,We've got to learn toReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleReduce, Reuse, RecycleBecause three it's a magic number

Waste reduction starts at the supermarket. By making slight alterations to your shopping list you can significantly reduce the amount of waste created in and around the home. Buy only what you needReduce unnecessary waste by avoiding those pointless purchases. Items that rarely get used can be borrowed or shared with others. Buy products that can be reusedBuy bottles instead of cans and rechargeable batteries. Items such as this create very little waste, as they don’t have to be thrown away after they have been used just once. Buy all-purpose household cleanerInstead of buying many different ones for each cleaning role. Buy products with little packagingSo that less packaging ends up in your rubbish bin. For those items you use regularly, buy them in bulk instead of in smaller amounts. This will save you money as well as reduce waste. Sell or give away unwanted items Reduce waste by donating unwanted items to family, friends or neighbours. You could even sell your possessions in a car-boot sale and earn some extra cash. Reduce paper waste by cancelling unwanted mail You can unsubscribe to many national mailing lists by contacting the Direct Marketing Association:

• Reducing Hazardous Waste • • Many hazardous products cannot be recycled as they contain harmful chemicals. However, there are ways of reducing waste by dealing with hazardous

products in the correct manor.• • Buy non-toxic products whenever possible• Many toxic products such as motor oil and pesticides cannot be reused.• • Recycle motor products• Such as break fluid, oils and tyres by taking them to your local petrol station. By recycling these products instead of throwing them away, you are reducing

hazardous waste.• • Use all of the toxic product, such as furniture polish, so there is no hazardous material left in the container when it is discarded.• • Find safer alternatives to hazardous household products.• You can even make your own household cleaners using products such as baking soda and vinegar. Olive oil with lemon juice is a good alternative to

furniture polish and using scented candles are a good alternative to air fresheners.• Think Before You Throw • • Many of the items that you would normally consider as rubbish could be used for other purposes. So instead of throwing items away, reduce waste by using

them for other roles.• • Paper and Envelopes• Can be used as scrap paper for making notes.• • Cardboard, Newspaper and Bubble Wrap

Can be used as packing materials. Packaging products, such as foil and egg cartons, can be used for art projects in schools and nurseries.• • Jars and Pots

Can be used as small containers to store odds and ends.• • Plastic and Paper Bags

Can be reused in the shops, used as bin bags around the house or as wrapping paper.• • Used wood

Can be used in woodcrafts for making small garden objects such as bird tables. Alternatively it could be used as firewood.

When a product is repetitively used it can erode or less dramatically brake . When a product is no longer suitable to for its purpose it would be good to recycle and reduce .
