The most effective way to reduce waste is not to create it in the first place. Making new products requires a lot of materials and energy – consider the raw materials that have to be extracted, the energy used to produce the product, and then the transportation.
Reducing the number of things you buy and reusing existing products are the most effective ways you could save natural resources, protect the environment and save money.
