- Go box-less!
Choose products with minimal packaging. Many convenience items create more waste than the economy size. Buying in bulk can help you get the biggest bang for your buck. -
- Sell out!
Have a garage sale, donate to a local charity thrift shop, or post items online. -
- Say no to gift wrap!
Give gifts of time, services, or home-baked goodies this year! For kids, try a membership to a zoo or museum. -
- Eat in!
Resist the fast food solution. Keep a few easy-to-make dinner ideas handy. Make double portions and freeze the rest for later. -
- Block junk mail!
