Lifestyle: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle


Reduce:
By that we mean the disposable throw-away cups; the type where you drink a coffee, then throw the cup away. This can produce an extortionate amount of waste as hundreds of cups can be thrown out every day. The simple solution is bring you own cup.

Reuse:
If you receive a padded envelope through the post, instead of tearing them, carefully, open the top, being careful not to rip the paper too much. The envelope can then be reused again. Simply put a label with the new address over the old one, stick a layer of tape over the opening at the top. Once secure, you can post it again.

Recycle:
If your office uses a lot of paper, before recycling, build a stack of about 50 sheets, then cut into quarters leaving 4 smaller stacks of paper. Attach a bulldog clip to the top, and you have your own eco-friendly notepad, sketch pad or jotter. You won't need to buy any more and you can re-use the clips afterwards.
