5 Ways to Reduce Waste

1. Home Composting
-
Compost improves the health of your soil, which is great for your plants 🌱
-
It's free and easy to make from garden and kitchen waste 🗑
-
Unlike bought compost, it has no packaging or 'fuel miles' and is peat-free 👍
-
Compost heaps and bins improve the bio-diversity of your garden 🐝
2. Re-use, Recycle, Repurpose
-
Listen to our own National Treasure, Sir David on the use of Plastic 🥤
-
There are many products already available that everyone could use to reduce plastic use. For example, glass bottles, reusable cups, paper bags, cloth nappies, natural toothbrushes, wooden hangers and Beeswax wraps ♻️
-
It's never too late to make a change 👍




3. Donate to Charity
-
Charities don't want your old pants, but a lot of the furniture we collect could easily be donated 🎗
-
Charity Shops also encourage re-purposing and locally sourced items help to reduce your carbon footprint 👣
4. Just Keep It
-
Do you really need a new £600 talking robotic vacuum cleaner? Why not just keep the one you've got and spend the extra money on a day out 🤷♂️
-
If not could you repair it 🔧
-
Or if you do need it - Give the old one to Charity 🎗

5. Up Cycle
-
If you have items which are broken and in need of a bit of paint or a simple repair to get them back into shape, why not have a go at upcycling! With a bit of practice and TLC your old furniture could take on a whole new lease of life 🎨🖌
