WHEN SHOPPING


- Look for products with eco-labels.

- Look for products that have been made of recycled materials, deodorants without CFCs and washing powder without phosphates.

- Whenever possible, buy products in reusable bottles.

- Buy large, economy-sized boxes or bags of often-used products - such as mineral water or washing powder.

- Avoid products with extra unnecessary packaging, such as toothpaste with an extra box.

- Declare war on plastic bags - take a basket along or carry your own bag.

- Buy fruit and vegetables by the pound and not packaged like on styrofoam trays.

- Buy appliances with a long warranty period and such that can easily be repaired.
