Reduce Reuse Recycle

Adopt a “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” mindset. Buy only what you need and opt for products with minimal packaging.

• Invest in reusable items such as water bottles, shopping bags, and food containers, to minimise single-use plastics.
• Repair and repurpose broken items instead of discarding them. Embrace DIY projects to give new life to old objects.
• Compost organic waste to reduce landfill contributions and enrich your garden.
• Donate unwanted clothes, furniture, and household items to local charities, or thrift stores.
• Use both sides of paper before recycling, and save scrap paper for notes or crafts.
• Utilise glass jars and containers for food storage and DIY gifts.
• Repurpose glass bottles and plastic containers for planting herbs or storage.
