We can all find ways to reuse instead of throwing away, travel in a greener way like using public transport and meal planning to stop wasting so much food. With a little thought there are many items around your home that can be reused such as old food jars which can be refilled with homemade Jams and chutneys, containers to store food in the fridge and egg boxes and magazines can be taken to kindergarten for art projects, so be creative.
