Fix broken items instead of throwing them away. Use online tutorials to repair electronics, clothing, or furniture. This extends product life.
Replace single-use items with reusables: cloth towels, glass containers, metal straws. This reduces waste and saves money over time.
Sand and paint old furniture instead of buying new. It adds character, saves money, and reduces landfill waste.
Bring your own reusable bags for shopping and trash. This reduces plastic waste and is often required by local laws. Keep a few in your car or bag at all times.
Use a small countertop compost bin with a lid and charcoal filter for food scraps. Empty it into a building’s communal compost bin or a local community garden weekly to reduce odor and pests.
