Eco-friendly New Year's Resolutions?

[Jacaranda75]

Hi everyone, I am thinking of ways that I can make a change to be more eco-friendly. I am already vegan and recycle, but there must be other ways.

Anyway, I am thinking of switching to toothpaste tablets this year, rather than using toothpaste with tubes that end up in landfill. Does anybody have any recommendations?

Also if anybody else is making any eco-friendly Resolutions please feel free to post here.

Next year, I'm going to try:

Fabric gift bags/Japanese wrapping instead of using paper.

Growing flowers in my garden to attract insects and wildlife (garden JA mainly lawn).

I've bought a small birdhouse, which I need to put up.

I’ve bought wild deodorant and am going to try to switch over, I’m also expecting my first baby and will be investing in reuse-able wipes (and possibly nappies if I can work that minefield out!)

@purpledagger would love to see a pic of your birdhouse!

@AluckyEllie reusable baby wipes is a good idea - you go through so many of them with a baby.

Here is my bird house, it was under a fiver, from Home Bargains.

My resolution is to not buy any clothes this year.

I’ve just signed up with a milkman - no more plastic milk cartoons for us!

No clothes for six months for me

I've just switched to Dent tabs and am really pleased with them.

Also use Smol for dishwasher and laundry tablets, who gives a crap for toilet roll and tissues, miniml for bath foam and some cleaning stuff.

I'm switching to a veg box with add ons for milk, etc to try to reduce food waste.

Buying as much as I can second hand, buying less in general.

The locally grown veg scheme we signed up to last year has been amazing. Have loved the Too Good To Go food waste app as well - but it's best used with local bakeries.

Biggest help, milkman ( only me) I drink very little milk, and bought reusable fabric kitchen roll, great, now about 18 pieces very easy to use.
Expensive yes, worth it tho

@purpledagger that’s gorgeous!

Let your garden run as wild as you can manage.
Buy pre-loved, gift pre-loved. Repair things.
Shop local, buy only what you need.
