Don't make the mistake of putting your recycling in plastic bags before dropping it in the bin. Plastic bags are sent to landfill, often containing the recyclables inside.
Recycling cans and bottles at home is easy but it can be trickier when you're out and about. If there are no recycling bins where you are, pack up your rubbish and take it home to recycle correctly. Show the kids, it's the green thing to do!
Hand out less treats. Preferably your goodies of choice are healthy and/or Earth-friendly, but even if they’re not, handing out just one (rather than the conventional handful) of something is better for kids, better for the planet and better for your bank account.
