Remember, you can reduce waste by using the six R’s:
- Rethink: Think about waste before you buy. Avoid ‘disposable’ products
- Refuse: Say no to excess packaging – choose products in minimal or recyclable packaging
- Reduce: Use reusable containers and bags instead of disposable ones
- Reuse: Charitable organizations and thrift shops may be able to take reusable items you no longer need
- Repair: Be handy – fix items instead of replacing them
- Recycle: Recycle everything you can
