Trim Those Packaging Pounds

Packaging makes up a third of all garbage tossed in the U.S.

What Can You Do?

Here are a few ways to cut down on waste:
Cut back on single-serving foods and beverages. Instead, buy items in bulk and portion them out into reusable containers.

Tone down the take-out. Cooking just one more dinner and packing just one more lunch a week will have a big impact on unnecessary waste and will save you money.

Buy household items, like detergent and cleaning supplies, in concentrated forms so that you get more product per package.
Whenever possible, look for packaging made from recycled materials, and always check the plastic code to make sure the package is recyclable
