SAY NO TO PLASTIC BAGS!
The average plastic carrier bag has a lifespan of around 12 minutes before it is thrown away. Every year each person in the UK uses about 300 and most of these will end up in landfill sites.
AVOID PACKAGING!
Packaging typically accounts for around 1/4 of all household waste and it costs the average household 470 each year. Manufacturers will be much more likely to stop producing over-packaged goods if consumers stop buying them! Here are some tips to try and avoid packaging.
GIFTS GALORE!
Everyone likes to buy presents for family and friends on special occasions. Unfortunately, many gifts create a lot of packaging and some go unused because the person doesnt actually need or want the item. Follow the tips below to avoid this!
Printed on 100% recycled paper
Take your own bags or cardboard boxes with you when you shop at supermarkets.
Avoid buying single use disposable items such as batteries or razors. Buying the reusable alternatives will not only help prevent waste but save you money!
TOP TIPS to be a
SMART shopper!
Save Money And Reduce Trash!
Buy a gift experience such as a massage or beauty treatment, or something you know the person will enjoy. These can be ordered online from many websites and go a bit deeper than the shiny wrapping paper.
Cotton or jute bags can be purchased for just a few pounds and will last for many years. They are very fashionable too! Get one of these bags to carry anything you buy in town whether it is food, clothes, or toiletries.
Avoid putting loose fruit and vegetables into small plastic bags - their own skins act as packaging. Dont worry about getting them dirty you will be peeling or washing them before you eat them anyway!
If you do end up with a few plastic bags then try and reuse them as much as possible before taking them back to the supermarket to be recycled.
Avoid pre-packed pasta boxes and frozen meals. Buy the fresh ingredients to make your meal and your cash will go a lot further itll taste much nicer too!
Look for products in packaging that can be easily reused or recycled eg: milk in glass bottles, or chocolate bars in paper and foil. The choices are out there if you look carefully!
Buy fruit and vegetables loose or in paper bags that can then be composted. Most local farm shops sell fruit and veg loose. Better still, you could even grow your own!
E-cards (electronic cards) can be sent via email and are available on the internet to send for free. There is a wide range of greetings cards to choose from and you wont need a stamp! E-vouchers are also available.
Buy gift vouchers for music, books and clothes that way you can be sure the person will get something they really want.
Give tickets to the cinema or a concert as a gift. Someone will always use this type of gift even if the receiver is unable to make the event!
