Living Trash Free…..

Living trash free (or at least generating a lot less trash) may not be as difficult as we all think. Here are a few tips how to reduce trash and therefore your carbon footprint…. 

• Recycle: glass, metal cans/containers, plastic bags, paper and cardboard
• Buy items in recyclable or biodegradable packaging
• Reuse items if possible
• Compost vegetable scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, plant clippings and leaves
• Buy local produce, or grow your own
• Use reusable shopping bags
• Use recycled or biodegradable plastic bags and boxes

If we all put a little effort into it, we can do a lot to help reduce the amount of trash we generate and help and help to save our planet.
