Just a few tricks I've picked up either from little ads and my cousin - Bring your own Tupperware to restaurants, so when you want to box your leftovers, than use your own container instead of the throw away boxes that increase waste in landfills. - dont drink bottled water, use your own reusable water bottle. Just buy a water filtration system, they dont cost that much, and make your own clean water. Even if you recycle you still have the cap, the labels, and tons of packaging that end up in landfills - Buy in larger volumes, less pop cans at home and more 2 liter bottles, they are cheaper too. - bring your own bags when you go out. Whether it is shopping at a store or at a grocery store, dont double bag unless nessesary, dont use one bag per item. If your about to walk out of the shop with one item and straight for the car, just skip a bag all together. ok those are my little tricks, please share if you have any of your own
