Say no to disposable products like plastic bags, straws, and utensils. Opt for reusable alternatives instead, such as cloth bags, stainless steel straws, and bamboo utensils.

Refuse Single-Use Items

Focus on purchasing only what you need. Before making a purchase, consider if the item is essential and how long it will last. Emphasize quality over quantity.

Reduce What You Buy

Get creative with repurposing items instead of throwing them away. Use glass jars for storage, old t-shirts for cleaning rags, and upcycle furniture instead of discarding it.
