Start with what you can do! Small initiatives lead to big reductions!

• Bring your own shopping bag and say no to unnecessary bagging at checkout.
• Turn down excessive wrapping and ask for simple wrapping instead.
• Return all unnecessary packaging (cardboard, styrofoam, etc.) to the store at the time of purchase, and take home just the contents.
• Return food trays, etc. to the recycling box at the place of purchase.
• Put returnable containers back to use.
• Purchase refills for shampoos and household cleansers.
• Make purchases in small amounts or by weight when possible.
• Take care of your possessions and plan to use them for a long time.
• Keep the inside of your refrigerator tidy and reduce waste.
• Make sure food isn't left past its expiration date.

(Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!)
