Your Top 5 Zero Waste Tips?
Thought it might be nice to share our top zero waste tips, I think we all know it can be a bit of a challenge so sharing best practice would be amazing! I'll start:
1. Swap to a safety razor 2. Buy in bulk and large scale where you can to reduce packaging and trip to the supermarket. 3. Swap to bar soap instead of those pump hand wash soap dispensers. 4. Compost! You can compost small scale, on paving slabs or in a massive garden. Lots of options, use up your food scraps and get free compost. Win win! 5. Buy one metal water bottle and reuse it always. Get one you really like the look of as hopefully it'll last you forever.
Maybe we can make the tips a monthly or weekly thing?
