- Choose to cook a delicious meal at home over ordering delivery. By preparing your own meals you save money and reduce packaging waste.
- If you are thinking about buying something, a book for instance, first ask yourself “Will I really use this again?”. If the answer to this question is “No”, first check if there is someone you can borrow it from. If you can’t borrow an item from a friend or a family member, think about buying it second-hand from a charity shop or online.
- Make your own cleaning products. Homemade alternatives made from ingredients as innocuous as white vinegar, baking soda and lemon juice can in many cases be as effective as commercial products and a lot more eco-friendly. They are also much cheaper and healthier, as they do not contain strong chemicals!
