Reduce the amount of waste you create. When purchasing products, try buying the biggest size you’ll be able to use. Typically you save $ on the larger sizes, reduce your runs to the grocery store and bulk sizes use less packaging.
If you enjoy juice/sodas, choose bigger bottles and pour into into your reusable cups instead of buying individual, 4 or 6 packs.

One of the easiest ways to make a HUGE impact is to refill 20 ounce bottles of water instead of buying a case each week. Buy a Brita pitcher and go crazy refilling and reusing those bottles!!
Good point Kman – there could be a twist to the ‘bigger is better rule’ – paying attention to recommended ‘use’ sizes would be helpful so you’re not throwing extra detergent down the drain.
