The first "R" in the environmental slogan "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" may be the most important, but gets forgotten in all the promotion for recycling.
Good shopping practices can reduce waste entering our house and help conserve our natural resources.
Some things we can do ...
- buy only what you need ( differentiate between "wants" and "needs")
- buy products with the least amount of packaging
- buy products that can be reused
- reduce paper waste by canceling unwanted mail
- buy non-toxic products whenever possible
- say "I don't need a bag" for small purchases.
