What is sustainability?
Sustainability is to make, create or produce whilst causing minimal harm to the natural world.
For example, removing, reducing, replacing, recycling and reusing plastic packaging.
How to make a home sustainable

Look out for FSC® certified products which carry the FSC® logo. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) is a global, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management. FSC® defines standards based on agreed principles for responsible forest stewardship that are supported by environmental, social, and economic stakeholders. By choosing FSC® products, you are supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.
Sustainable ways to store food and recycle rubbish
Eco-friendly food storage containers
Forget forking out for lunch every day. Save plenty of pennies by making the most of your mealtime leftovers. Pack them up for the next day or pop them in the freezer for another day.
Recycling bins
Separating recycling from your rubbish has never been easier. Most, if not all councils collect an array of recyclable materials, so there’s every reason to jump on the (rubbish) bandwagon and make bin day a breeze.
