Too much so, if you ask my kids, as I\u2019m rather fond of picking up bottles and cans whilst walking our dog and bringing home the spoils to add to our kerb-it box. Perhaps it&#8217;s the way that I then record my results on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/category\/home-and-garden\/living\/calendars-and-diaries\/supports-a-charity.htm\">calendar<\/a> (21 cans is my personal best) which prompts their accusations that I&#8217;m obsessive. But I\u2019m also firmly of the opinion that recycling shouldn\u2019t be viewed as the first option when dealing with our waste.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u2019s my top 5 ideas for cutting down recycling without adding anything to landfill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 &#8211; Plan ahead.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest improvements we\u2019ve made to reducing waste in our home is by taking time<!--more--> before starting shopping to decide what we\u2019d like to eat in the coming week. Then we simply buy what we need for these meals.\u00a0 Deciding before reaching the shops has the distinct advantage of enabling us to have a check of what we already have in the cupboards to avoid duplication.<br \/>\nShopping for food on-line has helped this even more, as we\u2019re less likely to be tempted by more random purchases or promotions which seduce us into buying more than we can use.<br \/>\nWith an estimated one third of all food purchased in the UK being thrown away unused (and with its&#8217; packaging too) getting organised is a really effective way to avoid falling into this trap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2 &#8211; Use it all up.<\/strong><br \/>\nHowever well we plan our menus, life has a way of interfering with our plans. I for one am not going to turn down an unexpected dinner invitation because I have some turnips and sprouts that I had plans for. What I can do is find other ways of using them. Previous visitors to the blog will realise that I\u2019ve developed a liking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/food-drink\/eat-well-stress-less-with-ethical-soup-erstore\/\">making soup<\/a>, and I\u2019m beginning to dip my toe (not literally my family will be relieved to hear) into jam and chutney making. This provides a double win, not only do I get to use up food which might otherwise spoil, but it\u2019s given me an opportunity to re-use glass jars which may otherwise have ended up being recycled.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/fallen-fruit\/recycled-airplane-tire-horse-swing\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-1257\" title=\"horsey\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/horsey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/horsey.jpg 250w, https:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/horsey-200x200.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 &#8211; Give it a new purpose.<\/strong><br \/>\nSaving jars and using them to store delicious homemade preserves, or as storage for screws \/ nuts and bolts, paper clips or spare buttons is a good place to start, but what else can be done? There are some really inspirational companies finding creative ways of re-purposing surplus packaging and product. We\u2019re incredibly proud to feature <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/doy\/\">Doy Bags<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/vinylux\/\">Vinylux<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/worn-again\/\">Worn Again<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/littlearth-uk\/\">Little Earth<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/electickery\/\">Electrickery<\/a> products in our range at Ethical Superstore and we hope that they\u2019ll help get the creative juices flowing. If you\u2019ve any old textiles taking over the cupboards why not put them to work de-cluttering the planet by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/sustainability\/morsbags-guerilla-bagging\/\">Guerilla Bagging<\/a> and \u2018bag\u2019 yourself some more storage space to boot.\u00a0 An art attack is another option \u2013 if a cereal box and yoghurt pot robot isn\u2019t for you, it could be worth checking with local playgroups and schools to see if they can use anything for junk modelling projects.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 &#8211; Love it a little bit longer , or give someone else the chance to.<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2018Fast Fashion\u2019 has become almost a national obsession. Cheap garments, often made from manmade materials which cannot be recycled easily, are being worn just a few times and then binned, the Government\u2019s Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee found. As a result the proportion of textile waste at council tips has risen from 7 per cent to 30 per cent in just five years.<br \/>\nBreathe new life into something you thought you would never wear again with some accessorisation or customisation.\u00a0 If that\u2019s not for you, why not give someone else the chance to love it. Charity shops are a positive option or you could delve into the emerging world of \u2018Swishing\u2019 \u2013 for those unfamiliar with the term that\u2019s clothes swapping events &#8211; and incredible adrenaline rush they are too I\u2019m reliably informed.<br \/>\nIf you still love it but it\u2019s seen better days can it be repaired? My wife recently visited the cobblers for the first time, a little over \u00a320 restored her favourite boots to full fitness, saving significantly more on the cost of a new pair. Much to the dismay of my teenagers, I do know the number of a decent TV repair man \u2013 I\u2019m not quite HD ready just yet.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/green-books\/composting---an-easy-household-guide\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-1258\" title=\"compost\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/02\/compost.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"280\" \/><\/a><strong>5 &#8211; Nourish the earth rather than poison it.<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/ethicalsuperstore-select\/composting-starter-kit\/\">Start composting<\/a>. Recent estimates indicate that 38% of domestic refuse produced in the UK each year is compostable material, such as vegetable peelings, tea bags and food scraps. That\u2019s roughly 105 kg of botanical waste per head of population per year. Quite a bit of packaging can add to the compost blend too \u2013 egg and cereal boxes are good candidates as well as some compostable \u2018plastic\u2019 bags.<br \/>\nFor those with little or no garden, worm composting is worth investigating. Systems such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ethicalsuperstore.com\/products\/straight\/can-o-worms\/\">Can-o-Worms<\/a> produce only a small quantity of compost and a liquid, which forms a concentrated plant food.<br \/>\nIf you have no outside space at all, community composting schemes are increasing in popularity, look out for one near you.<\/p>\n<p>Please let us know your tips, leave a reply below.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joanna\u2019s recent blog\u00a0 \u2018The Great Packaging Debate\u2019 touched a nerve with me.\u00a0 Don\u2019t get me wrong I\u2019m all in favour of recycling.
