31 Aug Three Ways to Help the Planet by Reusing and Recycling
Making sure that we make the most of the resources and treat the earth with respect is becoming more and more important. Re-using and recycling whatever we can is something that makes a big difference and is a great way to reduce the impact of climate change – here are three things that you can reuse and recycle…
Clothing – In the recent throwaway clothing culture and fast fashion being so successful, the environment has really taken a hit. When it comes to clothing, it is better for the planet to recycle and reuse where possible – for example, if you are creative, there are some great tutorials online where you can learn to make new items from old clothing. Alternatively, take clothing to a charity shop or recycling bank for fabrics.
Packaging – Most people order food online, and this may be convenient, but it also means more packaging being used. However, you can re-use this by using it yourself when you send something, or recycle it by contacting a company like this polystyrene recycling company www.printwaste.co.uk/business-recycling-solutions/specific-product-recycling/polystyrene-recycling/
Food – A lot of food in the UK is wasted, however, this doesn’t have to be the case. You can use leftovers to create all sorts of delicious dishes the following day. You can also help the planet by starting your own compost heap, which will be a great way to use up any uneaten food.
