Avoid the Mini bar snacks and drinks
Not only incredibly expensive but they all come in plastic packages or bottles. Even if you can’t avoid plastic entirely, you can resist single- serving sizes.

Bring your own toiletries
Skip the free travel size shampoos, soaps, and lotions offered by hotels. Instead, fill up your own reusable travel- size containers at home.

Buy second-hand plastic-free furniture There’s lots of advice about repairing, upcycling and finding good wooden or metal furniture online.

#LentPasticChallenge

[Abbotshall Parish Church @AbbotshallKirk]

Acquire necessary plastic items used instead of new
Check second-hand shops, Freecycle or Freegle. Look for sharing groups locally.

Avoid wet wipes
These contain plastic fibres so don’t break down like toilet roll, despite often being described as flushable.

Make it from scratch
Try and cook as much as possible from scratch and take your own sandwiches and snacks when you go out.

Put a “No Junk Mail” sticker on your letterbox
This will reduce the number of letters with plastic windows. It will also reduce your paper waste.
