Make sure when you buy products they are reusable and made from sustainable materials.
If you buy a container, don't buy plastic, buy stainless steel or glass. You can then use these containers again and again. Both glass and stainless steel will last forever if looked after and can be recycled. We have had our stainless steel water bottles for years and also our Pyrex dishes. We even take our dishes to restaurants and the butcher when we remember!
Again for shopping, don't buy or use plastic. Buy cotton bags or make your own from recycled material. Use these bags to carry your shopping in and also to put produce in that you buy. Put some in your everyday bag, hang them near the front door, and keep some in your car. That way there is no excuse to accept, buy or use plastic.
Get a worm farm or compost working for all your food, paper and cardboard scraps and when composted use in your veggie patch.
And all those Mum's out there, please put your little ones in reusable cotton cloth nappies and use with cloth boosters and wipes. This will save our landfill and waterways from a tremendous amount of toxic and unwanted waste. If you must use a disposable then use one like Safeties that are 100% biodegradable and can be broken down by your worms!
If you do these few small things, you will be amazed at how little rubbish you end up putting in your bin at the end of each week. We were!
Here are just a few tips to help us help save our planet!
