Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Minimise waste by only buying products that you need, and avoiding goods with excessive packaging. Check if certain items can be resused. For example, instead of throwing away old furniture, see if these can be revamped or sold. Your unwanted stuff may become someone else's treasure. Recycle and buy products made with recylced materials. "Recycling reduces pressure on raw materials, reduces mining, and the fuel and other costs associated with extracting, transporting and processing minerals. You also save valuable landfill space." - environmentalprofessionalsnetwork.com -
Make informed choices
Choose sustainable goods and services. A good rule of thumb would be to think whether you really need something before buying it. If you are going to buy a product, check if it was made with sustainable materials and methods.
