How much do you throw in the bin? On average every person in the UK throws away their own body weight in rubbish every 7 weeks. And to make it worse, most of the things we throw away we didn't really need or want in the first place.
Try and buy things with as little packaging as possible. It’s not always easy as companies want their products to look nice to encourage us to buy them, but if we all start choosing things with less packaging they might get the message!
The best thing about reusing? You don't have to put the bin out as much!
