Reduce

In order to reduce wastage and landfill, why not try the following:

  • Look at the Love Food, Hate Waste website for ideas to save money and reduce food waste.
  • Reduce or eliminate the number of plastic bags you use - many supermarkets have a reusable 'bag for life' scheme.
  • Choose items that have less packaging, e.g. buy loose fruit and vegetables
  • Stop the amount of junk mail you receive by signing-up to the Mail Preference Service
  • Reduce the amount of paper you use by printing and copying on both sides
  • Use a container for sandwiches rather than unnecessary wrapping
