Reseal it!
Re-sealable boxes are great for packed lunches and food storage. Plastic takeaway food containers, ice cream tubs, biscuit boxes and jam jars are good food containers.
-
Clear it out
Donate good quality clothing, books and unwanted gifts to charity shops. Alternatively use the clothing banks at your local recycling centre.
-
Recharge it!
Rechargeable batteries are the way to go - not only are they cheaper than disposables and cost just 1p to charge; they create less waste as they can be used again and again.
-
Keep it real
Instead of using disposable plates and cutlery for your parties, add a touch of sophistication with real crockery and cutlery.
-
Bag for life
Choose reusable shopping bags and keep them in the car boot so you remember to take them to the shops. By keeping a cotton bag folded up in your handbag or coat pocket too, you'll always have a bag when you need one.
