#1 Scale Back The use of Your Car
Reducing the amount you drive your car has a great effect on the environment and may actually be easier than you think. Here are some of the best ways to reduce your car use. Whether this means you start cycling more on your shorter commutes or take advantage of public transport more often, or choose to shop online to save the trip, you will be making a difference.
#2 Reduce Food Waste
This is a bad habit that many people have. Did you know that in the US it is estimated that roughly 40% of all food ends up being wasted? This is a shocking stat that we can all help change, starting in our own kitchens! You can reduce food waste by starting to create new habits such as, donating unwanted food to food kitchens and learn to love leftovers! Something as simple as making a streamlined food plan and grocery list for the week will help reduce food waste fast!
#3 Use Less Food Packaging
This is something we could all get better at. Food packaging is everywhere and can be hard to avoid but there are a few tips to help reduce our use of food packaging. One of the most simple changes we could all make is to buy a travel mug. Itâs estimated that, on average an office worker handles 500 coffee cups each year! This is immediately reduced with the purchase of a reusable mug⊠plus, some coffee shops give discounts when you bring your own mug! Obvious measures like buying in bulk will also reduce your packaging use along with purposely purchasing loose fruit and veg instead of their pre-packed cousins!
