Cut down on plastic

Around half of plastic products are only used once and then thrown away.

If we all swapped a single use plastic item for a reusable item, we could make a huge impact on the environment and could also save some money.

Could you do any of the following swaps?

• Buy a reusable drinks bottle instead of buying drinks in plastic bottles.
• Buy a reusable coffee cup instead of getting your drink in a disposable cup.
• Get your milk delivered in glass bottles, instead of buying milk in plastic bottles from the shop.
• Buy loose items instead of heavily packaged items (where you can).
• Swap disposable nappies for reusable nappies.
• Buy reusable shopping bags instead of getting new plastic bags every time.
