Just a few simple things you can do to live in a more green way:

Reuse: Wash out jam/olive/peanutbutter glass jars and use them as rustic-style vases by placing one or two flowers from a bunch in a couple of glass jars around a room. Or you could use them to keep your spices in.

Recycle: If you have clothing that you no longer wear/need/want donate them to a charity shop so that they can be used by someone else.

Reduce: Always make sure you close taps tightly so that they never leak. Each drop of water is important, reduce your wastage of one of the most vital necessities on the planet.

Repair: Before you throw away items that are broken, think: can I repair them?

Ceramics can be glued back together (within reason) and will even have more character as an end result.

Tears in clothing can be stitched or patched.

Socks can be darned.

Heels and inner soles can be glued back on and in. (You can take them to a shoe repair shop to ensure the job’s done correctly)

Hope these four R examples inspire you to Reuse, Recycle, Reduce and Repair!
