I buy all my clothes second hand. Don't waste food. Reduce my overall consumption of everything, and re-use and recycle everything I can.

I try to consider the environmental impact (and impact on other people) of EVERYTHING I DO. It's the only way we will turn this around.

I am recycling everything possible but also have changed my shopping habits. I now shop much more locally and use a shop where you can buy a lot of items such as flour and sugar by taking your own containers.
Being mindful of how we use electricity and our oil supply and batch cooking rather than wasting oven space.
Every little bit we do makes a difference.

We just recycle as much as we can, take old clothes to charity shops or mend and restyle others, switch off electrical items at the wall every night, only use the car once a week for shopping and sometimes advertise online items for which we no longer have any use.

walk and dont drive and recycle everything i can

recycling and cutting down on travel

I cycle more

I realised that I hadnt been in my loft for years so I have amassed a stock of charity bags and boxes and am going to brave the spiders and clear EVERYTHING out. Clearly, if I haven't been up there, I don't need it so everything will be washed and taken to the charity shops.

I've always tried to live a green life but, since lockdown, a huge awareness has emerged and more people are following suit. My added contribution is that I no longer throw away any bath water but keep a bucket in the bathroom and use it to flush the toilet. I used it to water the plants but I don't need to now because of all the rain. However the plants will be coming indoors soon so that will start again. I use it to wash my bins and to wash the window ledges.

I reuse items when I can eg I use yogurt pots to grow seeds

Avoid plastic in all its forms studiously. Latest change is back to solid bars for dish washing, hand washing, face and body washing, hair washing and conditioning.
Now making soup out of parts of vegetables I used to throw away such as cauli leaves, broccoli stalks and carrot peelings.
Planting shrubs and flowers for pollinators and watering them with recycled household water.

I waste as little as possible, am in the process of giving up plastic (which is really difficult!), I compost and recycle everything I can. I've started buying as much of my shopping from a plasttic free, no waste shop. I've even started to grow a few organic veggies in pots in my backyard. Once I've mastered these, I'll move on to new things. I also join in beach cleans when I can. ?

I've always reused, recycled and upcycled wherever possible so I'm continuing to do that. I haven't eaten meat in 40 years, barely travel, and just try to go through life having minimal impact on my environment.

Use canvas bags for shopping, buying less plastics and not driving.

recycle our waste

I use the car and public transport far less than in previous years.
I am vegetarian and have been for several years.
I am a fastidious recycler.
I am mindful of the energy I use in the home, switching off lights in rooms not being used and using the heating and hot water with consideration to consumption.
I don't waste water.
I am a mudlark and beachcomber and will also combine these activities with collecting plastics off the foreshore and beaches and dispose of them properly in recycling bins.
I do not own a tumbledrier
I've reinsulated the loft this summer
I planted lots of sunflowers in the back garden to let pollinating insects and bees thrive

I walk wherever possible, leaving the car at home. I recycle everything I can and I always use reuse my own bags while shopping.

Recycle or re-use everything I can. Love making something out of what others see as rubbish.
Use 5 litre bottles of eco - friendly cleaning, laundry, shampoo and conditioner and re-fill smaller bottles.
Use containers or silicon covers instead of clingfilm.
Where possible avoid buying anything in a single use plastic.
Use an extra jumper or blanket rather than turn the heating up.
Walk as much as possible.
Love secondhand clothes shopping.
Only buy things I need .
Anything unwanted that can't be re-used is given away to others or charity shops.
Always use own bags for shopping.

Trying to use less plastic, waste less food. Making my own sauces instead of buying them from supermarkets (spent lockdown learning to cook things from scratch), eating less meat and experimenting with replacing it with lentils. Driving less although Covid has put a stop to me using public transport. Instead of buying presents for the family give them money for a charity that runs a lottery each week and also National Trust membership. Keeping my heating down as much as possible and reducing the amount of water I use. Turning off lights when not in the room.

Covid-19 has certainly played a part in me being proactive with the climate crisis.
Lockdown has highlighted many unnecessary things in my day to day life.
This year I have appreciated staying at home and therefore I do not need to jump on a plane for a holiday which has saved me money too. I have grown as much of my own food and have been more thoughtful about the food I have bought such as local produce. Trips to the shop have become less frequent as everything is eaten before we shop again.
Growing our own food has been a delight as we have appreciated eating seasonal fruit and vegetables which taste so much better and stay fresher for longer.
I have had time to recycle or upcycle and have realised that I do not need to go and buy clothes so often although I have worn out 2 pairs of sandals and trainers as I have walked for pleasure and walked to the shops if and when required.
I have seen my local beach (2 minutes walk away) being left in an appalling state by visitors and have helped with it's clean-up. I will continue to be more aware of my impact on the environment and hope others do the same. I am not afraid of telling others to dispose of their rubbish in an environmentally friendly way.
And the list goes on . . .

I walk a lot more, don't use the car so much and recycle as much as I can

I’ve found as a family we’ve cut down on waste. We are also recycling or should I say up cycling and repurposing many items. It’s actually been lovely to do these projects & benefits the planet.

I am growing my own vegetables and thus saving all that useless plastic packaging. I am making my own compost from, organic tea bags, peelings, skins, cores and other vegetable matter from the kitchen. I recycle everything I can and my dustbin has very little in it as a result.

I am not buying anything that is wrapped in plastic

I've started bottling excess fruit from the garden like my mum used to instead of freezing it (which uses energy)
