2. Shopping and junk mail
Too many disposable items?
Consider buying products that can be reused such as rechargeable batteries and try not to use disposable items such as razors, plastic cups and plates.
Buy concentrated
Look for refillable and bigger value packs. They last longer, have less packaging and save you money too.
Too much plastic?
Over 290 carrier bags per person go to landfill every year and the plastic bag is used for an average of seven minutes before it's thrown away. Why not buy a bag for life?
