Intimidated by the thought of eliminating plastic for a full month? Get into Plastic Free July training early this year by embracing something we like to call Waste Free Wednesday!
It’s as easy as it sounds – make Wednesdays the day that you are 100% mindful about the waste you generate, and if you can do it well, you’ll leave no trace (and feel more confident in cutting your waste on the six other days of the week too!).
On average, Western Australians produce almost 20% more waste than those living in other states. We all need to find ways to cut waste, and this is a great way to create new habits if you’re not quite sure where to begin.
The goal of having a Waste Free Wednesday (#WasteFreeWednesday) is to avoid throwing anything out, or indeed buying anything at all, that may end up in landfill. Items that can be recycled – assuming you do recycle them – are ok.
We’d love to hear how you’re tackling Waste Free Wednesdays – tag us @wastesortedwa on Facebook, @wastesorted on Instagram and include #WasteFreeWednesday.
