Easy Ways to Reduce Waste
Studies have shown that even a small increase in consumption of goods and items results in a massive increase in waste production. This is even more evident over holiday seasons and festive periods when consumers are buying in full force. Reducing the amount of waste can give a well deserved break to the planet but do we know what sustainable consumption is and can we actually reduce the amount of rubbish we produce?
Cooking is one process during which much of the waste is formed, it is recommended to actually cook from scratch rather than buy processed, packaged foods that have less nutritional value and produce paper and plastic waste. If you have been buying a lot of canned and packaged food, chances are that your kitchen is somewhat cluttered with leftover packaging that needs to be disposed of. If you are not into kitchen cleaning many Northbridge domestic companies will be glad to do it for you.
They employ well-trained, experienced cleaners Newtown and surrounding areas are covered by full domestic cleaning service, including a specialized deep kitchen clean. A good tip is to avoid using gift wrappers, there are much better alternatives available such as gift bags, boxes or fabric wrapping. In terms of sustainable shopping, why not try and buy in bulk instead, products packaged individually use excess package materials and produce extra waste.
If bulk is not the best shopping format for you, then it might be a good idea to only buy as much as you need. In other words, don’t buy excessive amounts of food and produce that will eventually go unused and be thrown out. Same goes for your cooking habits, if you’re only cooking for two or three people, then preparation of excess amounts of food is indeed a waste, as much of it will find itself thrown out. Reduce the amount of food thrown out by sharing your excess food with friends and family. A useful tip is to reduce the overall amount of junk you buy.
