what can we do to reduce waste?
Reducing waste - why is it so important? We all would like to live in a clean environment, breathe fresh air and drink clean water. Everyone can contribute to reducing the amount of waste, which carries numerous ecological threats. Make changes to your home. Why is it so important? In this way, we care for a clean environment for future generations. Good habits become routine over time.
Go shopping with your own bag Plastic bags wear out quickly and are expensive, and the harmfulness of polypropylene to the environment is widely known. A much better option will be a cotton bag that is reusable. It can be washed and used for many years.
Reuse packaging Ice cream packaging, yogurt cup, soda bottle - you don't have to throw them away, but creatively reuse them. Hand-made dishes or bottles will be your pride.
Segregate your waste Thanks to segregation, your waste can be reused, which reduces the consumption of natural resources.
Buy second-hand clothes In second-hand shops you will find a lot of unique, fashionable items of clothing. You pay less, and at the same time you have the satisfaction that good quality clothes will not end up in a landfill.
Buy products by weight By choosing food sold by weight, you use less packaging, which is often made of plastic and harmful to the environment. Lots of products don't need foil. You will find fresh vegetables and fruits by weight at the markets.
Choose products with long expiration dates Buy larger amounts of rice, pasta, groats and flour. Pay attention to the expiration dates and use those that are about to expire first.
Opt out of printing if it's not necessary. Use electronic document flow. Limit the amount of paper you use
Plan your shopping carefully Before you go shopping, make a list of the things you need to buy. Thanks to this, food will not be wasted, and at the same time you will save your time and shorten your stay in the store.
Reduce the amount of plastic Do not buy plastic straws and cutlery. Avoid plastic packaging for cosmetics. Choose natural materials.
Regularly get rid of unnecessary things Do you have a guitar, books or clothes that you don't use? Decide if you still need them. If they have no practical or sentimental value, give them away or sell them.
Thank you for your attention!
