Eco Tips XXVIII and XXIX: reduce, reuse, enjoy!

Daily Eco Tip 29

If you do get a takeaway when ordering, specify that you don’t need plastic cutlery. Also, if you are on-the-go, bring along a set of bamboo cutlery – more lightweight and easier to carry than metal ones.

Eco Tip XX – or a better idea …

How many plastic razors do you think you have gone through in your lifetime? Probably in the hundreds- a lot right? You can stop that number from growing by investing in a reusable metal razor. They are high quality and all you need to do is replace the metal razor blade. Simple!

A much better idea would be to grow a beard, which

gives you permanent face cover into the bargain!

DAILY ECO TIP X

Pen-ny for your thoughts.

Daily Eco Tip 10

I was pleased the other day to find refills for a favourite pen that sits just nicely between fingers and thumb; I didn’t want to throw it away. I’m pleased today to find myself actiually on trend!

Using plastic pens again and again can build up over time. So, an eco-friendly alternative would be using fountain pens. These pens can help reduce your plastic usage. You can also opt for refillable ballpoint pens.
