-
Invest in bamboo or cotton reusable face rounds for your skincare routine, instead of using single-use ones.
-
Take a reusable cup to your favourite takeaway coffee shop for that iced-latte (they usually knock some moneys off too!)
-
Turn packaging products eg packing peanuts or shredded paper into sensory play for toddlers.
-
Make sure to pop your packing peanuts in water once you have finished with them, they should dissolve if they are eco-friendly!
-
Unsubscribe from junk mail, subscriptions and newsletters you are no longer interested in - both real life and online articles have a carbon footprint.
-
Bring new life into your old clothes by getting creative - if you’re over them completely, pop them on an app such as ‘Vinted’ and let someone else love them.
-
Try to cut down on your kitchen paper usage - invest in reusable paper towels or just use your kitchen cloths!
-
When it’s available, opt for loose produce at your supermarket. If you like everything bagged up and organised, invest in some reusable produce bags - they even sell them right buy the fruit and veg nowadays!
-
Use your left over coffee grounds! They have so many uses such as a natural face and body exfoliator, they even make a great plant fertiliser.
-
Clear up your kitchen window sill and create a mini-herb garden. Fill it up with pots of your fave herbs (and spices) to save you re-buying them every few days!
