Reduce waste from things

We have gotten used to instant gratification, the allure of pretty packaging and the ease of receiving goods on our doorstep with a few clicks on the computer. However, the waste generated by all these items places a burden on our planet. Excessive packaging, low-quality, and single-use items contribute to the waste we produce. By practicing refusal, reduction, reuse, repair, and recycling, we can improve our carbon footprints by avoiding the unnecessary creation and disposal of these products.
