If we try not to produce as much waste, then we have less to deal with. Use the following tips to help you reduce your waste.
Take less home – be a smart shopper!
-
Choose products with less packaging – like loose fruit and vegetables
-
Take your own bags or a bag for life when you go shopping
-
Choose refillable products like liquid soaps
-
Choose items such as wind up torches, radios, watches and toys to help you lower the amount of batteries you use and have to dispose of
