We all produce waste in doing so. We all have the power to reduce the impact this has on our planet. The expression ‘ throw it away ’ has become so common place in our society, it is often forgotten that there is no such place as away. When we dispose of our ‘ waste ’ it is dealt with for us, and we don ’ t think about it again. However, if we all did think about it, we might all start to change where we decide to put it, or if we create it at all. Top questions: • Are we buying a product we do not need? • Could we buy better quality that would last longer? • Could we buy an alternative that can be easily recy- cled? • Could we buy a reusable alternative?
