Bags - Reduce

Bags

The first and best thing that you can do is to reduce the number of bags that you use. Here's how...

Use less

You can refuse to take any bags that you don’t need when you are at the shops, especially when you are only buying small items. Many items don't need to be carried in a bag, or can be put into a bag that you already have instead. If you do need to take bags, try to take as few as possible.

Use an alternative

You can find out more in the reuse bags section.
