Zero Waste Swaps

by Cath

There are a couple of items that can make it easier to live a more zero waste life.

Having said that, there are a couple of rules you should take note and use as a rule, not only in this case but for a overall sustainable life.

USE UP!

Use up what you have before buying anything! I know you’re eager to make all the swaps you can make.

But reducing your impact is actually using up what you have at home before buying something new.

The most sustainable item is the one that you already have.

BUY SECOND HAND

Below there are multiple links to new items that you can buy.

HOWEVER, I strongly recommend you to shop second hand before buying something new.

By buying second hand, you’re giving an item a new opportunity instead of letting it go to the landfill.

Promoting a circular economy will reduce your waste, so keep this in mind before buying new.

BUY LOCAL

If you need to buy new, try to support small business instead of big companies.
