There is no Planet B. And we're all trying to do the right thing to save it. Trying to live more sustainably is the perfect first step. It can feel overwhelming but it doesn't have to be that way.
We have compiled our favourite tips & tricks and a list of easy sustainable swaps to replace the worst offenders for unnecessary waste.
One step at a time is a good start. Zero-waste is aspirational for most of us, but don't feel discouraged. By embracing plastic-free, unpackaged, reusable, refillable alternatives you will soon be living the more attainable low-waste life you're aiming for.
Start with a room of your house and work from there. Sooner than you think you'll have ditched single-use plastic from your life.
