Use Less Packaging

They’re sexy and they make us want to buy the products, but all of those wrappers and cans and boxes become useless when emptied. Make it your goal today to buy items with less packaging. Buy 2-liter bottles instead of cans. And get the big coffee tin rather than the smaller ones you buy more often. Say no to those items that look over-packaged to begin with. Decide to eat fresh fruits and veggies. Download music and forego the jewel case and liner notes. And then, if you’re feeling ambitious, think creatively about ways to reuse those empty containers.
