How to be more eco-friendly
Cultivate your company. Follow the golden (sorry, green) rules to eco-friendliness:
- Avoid buying over-packaged goods and individual portion packs
- Buy durable products, returnable bottles and containers that can be re-filled
- Look out for recycled goods and those packaged in recycled materials
- Cut down on packaging by buying your fruit and vegetables loose
- Re-use your carrier bags
- Repair broken items rather than throwing them away
- Give unwanted items like books, furniture and clothes to charity shops or other outlets
- Reuse what you can, for example envelopes, and use rechargeable batteries
- Where you can, recycle what you cannot reuse
- Ask your local council to improve recycling facilities
- Compost your garden waste and vegetable waste
- Use re-sealable containers to keep your food fresh, reducing the amount of plastic film and aluminium foil you throw away.
