Waste Management

Tips and Tricks

  • Reduce: Buy less and less often, and avoid single-use plastics. You can also buy in bulk to reduce packaging. 
     
  • Reuse: Use reusable bags, water bottles, and coffee mugs. You can also repurpose items you would normally throw away. 
     
  • Recycle: Sort waste before recycling, and use products made from recyclable materials. 
     
  • Compost: Composting organic materials like food scraps, yard waste, and paper can reduce your carbon footprint and create nutrient-rich soil. 
     
  • Practice the 7 R's: In addition to the 3 R's, you can also rethink, refuse, repair, regift, and borrow, swap, or share. 
     
  • Make sustainable purchases: Avoid fast fashion and make sustainable purchases. 
     
  • Go digital: Go paperless when possible for bills. 
     
  • Raise awareness: Talk about waste and challenge leaders to do better.
