    I'm going to reduce the amount of packaging my food comes in by growing my own. And I'm going to reuse any packaging I already have such as glass pasta jars for new homemade sauces and chutneys.

    I'm going to stop buying disposable stuff where I can cope with the alternative - e.g. all the various cleaning wipes (face, bathroom, floor etc).

    Also going to reduce emissions by not feeding my family so many flatulence-causing food!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I am finally going to be militant about reusing plastic bags, and not taking any new ones- if I don't have a bag on me then I'm not allowed to shop! (it might save me a few pennies on impulse buys too!).
