Tips to reduce waste
• Don’t cook too much or save leftovers in (recycled) boxes
• Paper has two sides
• Use rechargeable batteries
• Use your own cup for coffee machines, bring your own bottle and lunch in lunchbox
• Use your own bag when you are shopping (so you don’t need plastic disposable bags)
• Use old textile when you want to clean the house, floor or windows, etc.
• Make new candles from candle leftovers
Be creative: recycle, etc.
