In any house there is always a lot of waste. Food that never gets cooked, leftovers that never get eaten. General house hold rubbish. Add a baby into the mix and then you also have nappies and wipes. I try to limit our household waste - we only have a small otto bin and I try not to have it full. Below are some ways I reduce our waste, some I've been doing for a while and some are new editions.
* recycle everything! I save glass jars to re-use. Some news paper gets saved for the dog or garden. Tins, plastic etc gets washed & recycled. I try not to buy things with too much packaging.
* compost. We have 3 compost bins.
*worm farms. We have 2 worm farms set up and a 3rd ready to go. Worm farms are great for kitchen waste.
* chickens. Garden waste, kitchen scraps, leftovers all go to my girls. I bring lunch leftovers home from work for them as well.
* using re usable shopping and produce bags.
* meal planning/shopping lists. This cuts down on wasted food.
* cloth nappies and wet bags. I still use disposables but I try to use cloth nappies a couple of times a week. Wet bags are instead of using plastic bags for dirty/wet kids clothes.
These are just the ones I can remember off the top of my head. What are some ways you reduce waste?

ReplyDeleteSandhya, I'm not sure you got the point of my post. I'm talking about wys of reducing waste. One of which is using re-useable bags. This way there is less waste/single use objects away. I'm about minimising exposure to chemicals which includes plastics. I believe that all the chemicals we are exposed to are playing havoc with our bodies as well as the environment.
