It is quite noticeable how much waste we contribute to each day: cardboard packaging; uneaten food etc.
But we sometimes forget how wasteful we are of the stuff that comes in bottles. Absolutely anything that is sold in a bottle can be overdosed – and I don’t mean medicines (but those too, of course).
Take shampoo. Almost everyone pours out too much goo to do the job.
And that goes for just about every substance sold in a bottle.
My advice is to always check on the bottle to see how much of anything you are supposed to be using. If it doesn’t say (on a shampoo bottle for example), keep a teaspoon handy and measure out a level spoonful.
Do this for all bottled substances.
You may be surprised at how much further the bottles will go. And you’ll save in the long run – and help save the planet too!
