This week is zero waste week. I have pledged to stop using plastic bags and use reusable ones instead. I have changed a lot of my wasteful habits over the past few years. I cloth nappy my toddler and use CSP rather than disposables. These reduce what I put in landfill and reduce the chemicals that are next to our skin. I also make my own soaps and reuse the packaging as much as possible.
There are loads of things you can do to reduce the amount you put into landfill. I personally use freecycle a lot. Recently I got a loft bed for free and I'll be passing the old bed onto someone else to use. My husband is a skip rat. He comes home with various finds that others have thrown out. Big wire reels make the most amazing tables! I have two boxes of clothes that were going to be thrown out that I'm going to mend/ up cycle into something different. I've seen some really funky earrings and necklaces made of ring pulls and I just love how inventive people can be with 'waste'
