Easy ways to help the environment
(As recommended by Friends of the Earth)

Give it away or sell it

Charity and nearly-new shops, jumble sales and community schemes are good places to donate or sell second-hand clothes, toys and furniture. It is also well worth shopping at second-hand outlets.

Reuse products

Use containers again or buy food, drinks and toiletries in returnable containers and ask local shops to stock them. Ask your school or workplace to provide reusable cups, plates, cutlery etc.

Repair or adapt

The best environmental choice is to repair, restore or adapt a product you already have. You may need professional help but it could still be cheaper than something new.

Recycle more

Recycle things yourself, and buy recycled products. For information on household waste disposal get in touch with your local authority for recycling schemes in your area - and ask them to improve their recycling services. Why not start your own collection scheme at work or school.

Cut down packaging

The amount of plastic packaging waste from UK households is about one million tonnes. Buying fruit and vegetables loose could cut your waste drastically. Take a shopping bag with you and try not to buy drinks in plastic bottles.
