Tips for reducing solid waste - and saving money too!
Take your own bag or basket to the supermarket.
Choose products wrapped in the least unnecessary packaging.
Try using concentrated products (e.g. soap) which need less packaging.
Buy vegetables loose rather than in plastic bags.
Don’t waste food and store leftovers in a reusable container.
Give your food scraps to your pets or farm animals but only if suitable for them.
Maintain and repair items (e.g. clothes, appliances) so they last longer.
Borrow, rent or share things you don’t use often (e.g. tools).
Use cloth napkins, sponges and dishcloths instead of paper towels and napkins.
Use low-energy LED bulbs that last longer than the regular incandescent bulbs.
Use both sides of paper. Keep a collection of scrap paper to reuse.
Wash plastic containers and jars and reuse.
Buy things in plastic or glass containers that can be reused.
Use reusable containers for food instead of disposable boxes, plastic wrap, foil, or sandwich bags.
