** 7 Ways to Reduce Waste in Your Home **
1. Eco-friendly tap inserts and showerheads
Using tap inserts will help you save money while helping the environment! They are easy to install and reduce your water flow every time! The water company may even offer them for free. Or you can go extra green with an Eco-friendly shower available on Amazon!
2. Eco Cleaning Products are the best option
To clean your dishes, clothes, and house, you can use an eco-friendly brand.
3. Make sure your meter is smart
Know what you're doing when it comes to your home's energy. You can track your current electricity use and find out where you can save money and operate more efficiently with a smart meter.
4. Reduce the use of plastic packaging
Almost 70% of our plastic waste comes from plastic packaging in the UK, which is of great concern
Visit your local grocery store, butcher, or market as part of your weekly shopping trips to avoid unnecessary plastic packaging, and always remember to take your bag for life.
5. Reuse or Sell your old furniture
Sell your old furniture on sites like Facebook Market so that someone in your area can pick it up straight from your house. You can also list it as a collection-only listing.
6. Growing Herbs
Whether you plant them in a window box, a planter, or the garden, try it out for yourself. Herbs purchased in the UK arrive via aeroplane most of the time, so this could be an alternative to cutting down on emissions and plastic packaging from shops, as well as starting a brand new hobby.
7. Always think reusable
Many of the items we use in the household are single-use items that usually last for a short time, like sponges, wet wipes, kitchen rolls, etc. For us to reduce waste, we need to find reusable products we can wash and use repeatedly.
