Answer:

REFUSE disposable plastic whenever and wherever possible. Choose items that are not packaged in plastic, and carry your own bags, containers and utensils. Say 'no straw, please.'   is to limit the amount of waste you create in the first place. This includes buying products with less packaging.

REUSE durable, non-toxic straws, utensils, to-go containers, bottles, bags, and other everyday items. Choose glass, paper, stainless steel, wood, ceramic and bamboo over plastic.   means to use something again that you would normally throw away (eg. Glass jar for food or plastic bags for bin liners.)

REDUCE your plastic footprint. means to use something again that you would normally throw away (eg. Glass jar for food or plastic bags for bin liners.) Cut down on your consumption of goods that contain excessive plastic packaging and parts. If it will leave behind plastic trash, don't buy it.  

RECYCLE  is to convert waste into resources (such as electricity, heat, compost and fuel) through thermal and biological means. Resource Recovery occurs after reduce, reuse and recycle have been attempted. What you can’t refuse, reduce or reuse. Pay attention to the entire life cycle of items you bring into your life, from source to manufacturing to distribution to disposal.
