It’s officially Zero Waste Week, the annual campaign that’s meant to remind everyone just how much waste they produce, and hopefully convince them to get that number down to zero. It’s no easy feat – the UK alone produces 177 million tonnes of waste each year, and we only use an abysmal one percent of items we purchased within the past six months. What better time to make a change than during the week in September that’s devoted to limiting waste. Here are five changes you can make to lessen your contribution to those landfills, and have less of an impact on the planet.

Find a shop that sells bulk items that can be dispensed right into your own, reusable containers. That’s much better than buying something wrapped in plastic.
