Ways to Use Less Stuff
During the Holidays and Any Time | ||||||||||||||||
Plan meals using portion control to minimize waste.
| ||||||||||||||||
After a party, put leftovers in plastic containers or bags and send them home with guests, or donate to food banks. | ||||||||||||||||
Bring your own camera instead of using disposable cameras. | ||||||||||||||||
Cancel mail order catalogues you know longer use. | ||||||||||||||||
Bring your own shopping bags. | ||||||||||||||||
Consolidate your purchases into one bag rather than getting a new bag at each store. | ||||||||||||||||
Plan your shopping in advance. Save money on fuel by making fewer trips to the stores. Avoid last minute shopping when you won’t have time to make careful gift choices. | ||||||||||||||||
Consider giving gift certificates or making a donation to a favorite charity in your friend/family's name. | ||||||||||||||||
Give homemade food or something you’ve made yourself from reused items. | ||||||||||||||||
Shop for gifts at antique stores, estate sales or flea markets, since one person’s trash is another’s treasure. | ||||||||||||||||
When buying electronics, remember to buy rechargeable batteries to go with them. | ||||||||||||||||
Send e-greetings to family, friends and business associates who are on-line. Did you know about 2.65 billion Christmas cards are sold each year in the US? | ||||||||||||||||
Get a tree that can be planted or mulched afterward, or buy an artificial one. | ||||||||||||||||
Compost your food waste. Fruits and vegetables and their peels, pits and seeds are all perfect for composting, a great natural fertilizer. | ||||||||||||||||
