Q

01 - RETHINK & REFUSE

Stop and think twice! Rethink and refuse to purchase what you don’t really need.

02 - REDUCE

Whenever you can, opt for reducing consumption. Just buy what you truly need and what will last and try to avoid packaging.

03- REUSE

Reuse what you already have when you can and use things for another purpose instead of throwing them away. Be creative with it!

04 - RECYCLE

Recycling is not a magic wand. The best is always to avoid producing waste and recycle only what you just couldn’t avoid!

05 - ROT

Create a simple compost bin in your garden or on your balcony where you can put your organic waste and get free natural fertilizer for your plants.
