How do you reduce the amount of waste you generate? Start by looking at the things you purchase and use on a daily basis. Here are some areas to focus on to get you started:

At Work

  • Print only when necessary.

  • Purchase printer paper made with recycled content.

  • Recycle your used printer cartridges.

  • Delete unnecessary emails and files that are stored digitally in the cloud.

  • Unsubscribe to mailing lists, catalog subscriptions and other recurring mail that you don’t find useful. 

In the Bedroom

  • When shopping for clothing and linens, opt for fabrics made with natural fibers such as cotton, linen, wool or silk. 

  • Shop at thrift stores or online resale shops before buying new items. 

  • Donate gently used clothing and other home furnishings you no longer need.

In the Kitchen

  • Treat yourself to fun fabric hand towels and napkins that can be washed and replace the need for disposable paper towels and napkins.

  • Reuse food containers to store food items and avoid single-use plastic wrap.

In the Bathroom

  • Swap liquid soap for bar soap to reduce unnecessary packaging. You can also find a number of bar soap options to replace shampoo and conditioners in a bottle.

  • Switch to reusable cotton rounds and face wipes that can be tossed in with a regular load of laundry.

  • Buy recycled toilet paper. Avoid flushable wipes that clog sewer pipes and are slow to biodegrade.
