One of the biggest topics of conversation at the moment is waste, creation of it, disposal of it and wasting resources. So we have pulled together some quick and simple tips to help you avoid waste. Small changes are sometimes all it take to make a positive change for the environment. Others require a little more work, but the effort is worth it both for your wallet and the planet.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Cut down on your food waste<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<li>We\u2019ve all been there, Sunday starts with great intentions, you raid the fruit and veg aisle in the local supermarket and swear you mean it. Fast forward to Friday evening and there is an array of half-eaten veg decorating your fridge. Food waste is not only bad for your pocket, it\u2019s bad for the environment. In order to cut down on food waste, we recommend buying as much of your fruit and veg as possible loose. This saves on that pesky plastic wrapping, but it also allows you to buy just what you need. Only buy what you need to save money and wastage. It\u2019s not always that simple though and you will sometimes find yourself with a few half used bits and pieces. Don\u2019t throw them away, embrace these Food Huggers. The set of four is great for covering fruit, vegetables, jars, open cans, and other small containers meaningless waste, and a neat and tidy fridge.<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/food-huggers-savers-4-piece.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2890 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/food_huggers_kitchen.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"748\" height=\"751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/food_huggers_kitchen.jpg 748w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/food_huggers_kitchen-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/food_huggers_kitchen-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/food_huggers_kitchen-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 748px) 100vw, 748px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<li>\n<h2>Ditch the single use<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Why not enjoy your coffee the planet-friendly way with a stylish coffee cup! Coffee tastes much better when it\u2019s served hot and from a real mug, I think you\u2019ll agree. But what happens when you are out on the run and can\u2019t bring out the favourite china? Make a more \u2018conscious\u2019 cup of coffee by getting yourself a lovely travel mug to fill and refill. This will allow you to save on the disposable cup, avoid the nasty plastic taste those can have and bonus points for style. The M&amp;B HQ fave is the Corkcicle Tumber, triple insulated so your drinks stay hot for three hours. Simply fill, drink, wash and repeat and enjoy your coffee with no regrets.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/corkcicle-tumbler-small.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2885 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/corkcicle-tumbler-16oz-copper_resize-70x70.jpg 70w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h2>Bottled water<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Staying hydrated is always a good idea.

It\u2019s healthier, more economical and exactly what you want, nothing more and nothing less. Now you\u2019re faced with the problem of what to wrap it in. You could invest in a lunchbox, but then you turn up to work and your carefully curated gastronomical masterpiece is now a soggy mess. You could wrap it in plastic wrap, but its single use plastic is not going to win you any brownie points with Sir David Attenborough! Why not try Beeswrap, made from organic cotton and beeswax, this is the eco-friendly and durable answer. Simply build your sandwich, fold in the corners and wrap string around the wooden bee button. It can also be used as a placemat so you can enjoy your sandwich al fresco without the wash up. Clean up is simple and you can reuse this time and time again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/beeswrap-lunch-pack-set-of-3.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2891 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"724\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-640x640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps-70x70.jpg 70w, https:\/\/www.meadowsandbyrne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/Beeswarp_assorted_wraps.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li>\n<h2>Clean up your act<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We all love a clean house, there is nothing more satisfying than a shiny countertop and that just washed scent.
