HSBC Commit to change

Things you can do today

  • Sign up to a service that will remove you from all unwanted junk mail lists.
  • Take a reusable bag when you go shopping.
  • Use local recycling schemes for all appropriate household waste such as paper, cans, glass, plastic and clothing.
  • Make compost from your organic kitchen waste. It makes a great fertilizer and reduces pollutants.
  • Look for food with less packaging, perhaps at the local farmers' market. This will reduce the waste that you have to deal with and which goes into a landfill as well as saving energy that would have been used to make the packaging.
