Reduce the amount of waste you bring home in the rst place consider buying in bul to reduce pacaging

Pac lunches and other to go meals in reusable containers

Avoid disposable products

Bring your own mug instead of using disposable beverage cups

Choose fresh, locally grown food and avoid pre-pacagedgrocery items

rus

Buy only as much as you need

Say no to plastic bags in stores bring your own reusable bags

If you can buy a product in a recyclable container rather than aStyrofoam container (eg eggs) buy the one that comes in the

recyclable container

ruc Compost your itchen waste and lawn and garden trimmings

(about 30% of household waste can be composted)

To reduce hazardous waste that requires special disposal, tryto loo for non-toic alternatives When buying paints, stainsor solvents purchase smaller containers so you wont haveleftovers or share the product with a friend or neighbour
