Reduce
the amount of the Earth's resources that we use. You can reduce the
amount of waste you create by choosing what rubbish you throw away.
Reduce unnecessary waste by avoiding those pointless purchases. Buy only the things you need.
Items that rarely get used can be borrowed or shared with others. Buy
products with little packaging, avoid disposable items and buy products
in bulk whenever it is possible.
Just follow our simple guidelines to reduce most of your waste at home, school or work.
What To Buy and How To Use It ..!!
Waste
reduction starts at the supermarket. By making slight alterations to
your shopping list you can significantly reduce the amount of waste
created in and around the home.
Buy only what you need
Reduce
unnecessary waste by avoiding those pointless purchases. Items that
rarely get used can be borrowed or shared with others.
Buy reusable products
Buy
bottles and rechargeable batteries instead of paper cans and ordinary
batteries. Items like these create very little waste, as they don’t have
to be thrown away after they have been used just once.
Buy "all-purpose" materials
Instead of buying many different ones for each different job.
Buy products with little packaging
So
that less packaging ends up in your rubbish bin. For those items you
use regularly, buy them in bulk instead of in smaller amounts. This will
save you money as well as reduce waste.
Donate unwanted materials
Sell
or give away unwanted items. Reduce waste by donating unwanted items to
family, friends or neighbours. You could even sell your possessions in a
car-boot sale and earn some extra cash.
Reduce paper wastes
Reduce
paper waste by cancelling unwanted mail. You can unsubscribe to many
national mailing lists by contacting the Direct Marketing Association of
your country. Reduce paper waste by printing or writing on both sides of a sheet of paper
Avoid toxic products
Buy non-toxic products, in order to reduce hazardous waste.
