Choose goods with less packaging

Take re-usable bags with you for your shopping (we use an average of 290 plastic bags per year each!)

Don’t automatically accept a separate bag from every shop – its just free advertising to them anyway

Before you throw a plastic items away, think what else you could use it for

Buy refills packs whenever you can

Bananas are already packaged!

Save polystyrene beads from packaging to top up your bean bag (if you still live in the seventies!), or to use as drainage/fill in the bottom of plant pots

Cut down your use of disposable pens, cups, razors, etc.
