Reduce Food Waste

Before throwing food away, consider whether it has deteriorated to the point where it must be discarded. Make a habit of noting the expiration dates of food in your refrigerator and planning your meals accordingly. Compost food that has gone bad! Composting is the process by which organic waste is converted into nutrient-rich soil.

Take Reusable Bags Anywhere

Reusable bags allow you to shop in an environmentally friendly manner. Keep reusable bags in your handbag or car and use them for all of your purchases, not just groceries.Besides that, they can significantly reduce the amount of plastic bags that end up in the garbage.

Refrain From Using Disposable Water Bottles And Coffee Cups

Disposable coffee cups, contrary to popular belief, are not recyclable due to the inside coating. Use a travel mug for coffee on the go. It was just as convenient, and it can even save you money! And why not experiment with a double-insulated bottle that can hold both hot and cold beverages?!

Buy Long-Lasting Quality Items

Cheap toys, clothes, and electronics frequently fail to last. Avoid this as much as possible by investing in items that will last a lot longer, reducing waste and saving you time and money in the long run.

Start Giving Old Furniture A New Home

Why not find a new home for your old furniture? Donate it to a local charity, place it on the curb with a "free" sign, or sell or give it away online. Some donation centres will even pick up used furniture for you.

Disposables Should Be Avoided In The Kitchen

Plastic wrap, tin foil, paper towels, and plastic zip bags are all useful, but they generate a lot of waste. Instead of tinfoil or parchment, try using a silicone baking sheet. When cleaning, replace paper towels and single-use wipes with washable and reusable microfiber cloths.

Search For Packaging-Free Or Low-Packaging Options

Search for loose fruit, vegetables, and other food items, and base your purchasing decisions on the amount of packaging an item has. Purchase reusable produce bags or simply place items in your basket or shopping trolley.

Sell Or Donate Your Old Clothes

Clothing that you no longer wear may be perfectly suitable for someone else. Try donating them to consignment or thrift stores, trading clothes with friends, or reusing them as cloths and rags.

Select Paperless Billing

Bill payment can be quick, simple, and paperless! Why not devote an hour this week to converting all of your paper statements to electronic delivery? Put the due date of your invoices on your online calendar or set up automated payments so you don't miss a payment.
