Trim Those Packaging Pounds
Packaging makes up a third of all garbage tossed in the U.S.
What Can You Do?
Here are a few ways to cut down on waste:
· Cut back on single-serving foods and beverages. Instead, buy items in bulk and portion them out into reusable containers.
· Tone down the take-out. Cooking just one more dinner and packing just one more lunch a week will have a big impact on unnecessary waste and will save you money.
· Buy household items, like detergent and cleaning supplies, in concentrated forms so that you get more product per package.
· Whenever possible, look for packaging made from recycled materials, and always check the plastic code to make sure the package is recyclable.
