Little things to help the enviroment.
- Get reusable shopping bags (as well as reusable pick-n-mix bags, and produce bags)
- Buy items in bulk to reduce amount of packaging.
- Buy second hand. Books, clothes furniture etc.
- On the topic of books, try and find second hand textbooks for school too.
- Use a flannel or microfiber makeup cloth instead of wipes.
- Swap bottles out for shampoo, conditioner and body wash bars.
- try growing your own food (even just little herbs in your windowsill)
- use a menstrual cup, or washable pads.
- Air dry clothes to save electricity.
- Wait until you have a full load of washing to use the washing machine. Hand wash individual items when you need to.
- When youre craving something, try making it at home. Buying less items means less greenhouse gases made during production.
- Continuing on from that, buy locally sourced products from markets or local farms. It supports small businesses, and reduces waste.
Like all of my lists, I'll add more as i think of it, and feel free to leave more suggestions below. Every little thing helps.
