Cutting back on waste is brilliant.

One of the parts of my old job that i really got annoyed with was the waste. That and the customers but there was nothing that i could do to reduce how annoying they were so waste was a bigger focus.

There is always going to be waste in any industry but there is so much of it that is avoidable.

All of the food and products that were thrown out on a daily basis that didn't need to be and all of the stock that could have been given to those in need that wasn't.

Simple changes in behavior that would have made a huge difference over time.

Small changes might seem like they do nothing but if we can all make those changes across society it makes a huge difference to the cause.

I Love buying second hand products.

This might be shocking to some sections of society where new and shiny is everything and it's all about the show but that's not the people here.

Buying from charity shops or from second hand sales sites is the best way to pick up the products that you need.

If I want to buy something for the garden or a short term solution then there are lots of them for sale online.

So many sites to choose from and great bargains to be had.

I've often gone into a charity shop and found hidden gems or books that i haven't seen in years.

It's a great place to browse and to pick up bits for the house.

I could buy everything new but I much prefer to do it this way.

• Cheaper to buy.
• Lead a more sustainable lifestyle.
• Save products from the bin.
• Money goes to a good cause.
• Find interesting and rare products.
• Keeps my monthly expenditure to a minimum.

For these reasons and more.

The planet is only going one way right now and all of these small steps help me and the environment.

It's a win win and lets me live the lifestyle that i want instead of slaving away to keep up with the neighbors.

Sustainable is better than buy and throw away.
