Switch to package free or minimally packaged goods

Most fresh produce such as bread, fruit and vegetables have absolutely no packaging. Why not bring your own recycled bags and containers to the supermarket to put them in? Keep them in your ‘Bag for Life’ so they’re always handy when you go shopping.

Obviously lots of products have to be packaged for health and safety reasons. But try to buy the largest size you can use since it's likely to have the least packaging. Yoghurt is a typical example. Buy a big pot rather than lots of little ones and save on all that extra packaging.
