A is for Avoid: Be a GREAT SORT

A is for Avoid – avoid using single use items if you can

Avoiding single use items and excessive packaging such as disposable cups, straws, produce bags and containers is the ultimate way to reduce your impact on landfill and the environment.

Avoiding these items just takes a little planning:

·       Take your clean reusable coffee cup to the café – you might even get a discount!

·       Place fruits and vegetables into your trolley instead of produce bags or bring reusable bags instead.

·       Pop a box in your car boot so you can load your groceries into rather than bags.

·       Buy quality clothing and fashion items rather than ‘fast fashion’ that wont last.
