To help you make every day a Clean Up Day here are my top tips to reduce your impact this Christmas:
Look for gifts that have less packaging; especially packaging that is difficult to recycle
Wrapping paper generally ends up straight in the bin after being used once. If possible use wrapping paper that is paper versus non-recyclable foils or get creative and use reusable materials such as teatowels or cloth bags as your gift wrapping
Take a reusable bag when you go shopping. Say NO to plastic bags
Say NO to bottled water. There is a terrific range of good quality reusable water bottles now on the market – I particularly like the folding platypus bottle because it fits in my pocket.
