- How are you being environmentally friendly?
- Have you made any changes to your lifestyle?
- Do you have any tips or ideas on how to be greener?
- Any ideas to reduce plastic wastage (easy-swaps are always a good shout)
- Anything else that anyone wants to add?
I would recommend the following easy steps (I’ll list the first 10 that come to mind)
- Get yourself a stainless steel water bottle that can be reused
- Look into refillable products (eco-refill). Carex, Detol, Air Wick, L’occitane, Naissance and other brands do refill packs,
- Bulk buy (if this won’t result in wastage)
- Buy local produce
- Ditch plastic teabags and go for a brand that uses paper or go for loose-leaf tea.
- Swap out washing up liquid (plastic bottles) and sponge (non-biodegradable) for dish soap and a bamboo brush
- Swap out shampoo and conditioner bottles for shampoo and conditioner bars
- Swap out cling film or plastic bags for reusable sandwich bags
- Make your own snacks at home such as hummous or crisps (hummous takes minutes and tastes much better)
- Drink milk? Get your milk in glass bottles or a tetra-pack (e.g. UHT, Soya, Almond, Cashew, Oat).
