This week’s tips are simple things you can do to refuse those things that you don’t really need. Not only will you help the planet by throwing fewer things out, but you’ll also reduce unnecessary clutter in your home!

- Bring your own reusable mug to the coffee shop or ask to use a glass mug.
- Keep a stash of reusable bags in your car (or better yet with your bike!) or near the door in your house so you remember to bring them to the store!
- Cut down on unnecessary packaging by buying items you use frequently like flour, rice and beans in bulk. This also saves money!
