Reduce, Repair, Rethink, Recycle, Reuse or Reimagine

If you can buy from a different manufacturer who makes a longer lasting product, perhaps one that can have parts easily replaced or upgraded, then this helps stop the throwaway culture we live in. If you can buy a product in recycled packaging, then this also helps. Slowly manufacturers  are going back to products that can be repaired and upgraded because of legislation.

Local recycling depends on your council but it doesn’t have to - much you can do for yourself

Target for recycling in the UK for 2020 was 50% didn’t make it. The UK as a whole made just over 44% and that was several years ago then we stagnated. We as a world need to do better.
