RECYCLE loose paper
When was the last time you read that paper that’s been there on your table since you moved in? With the average person in the UK getting through around 38kg of newspapers per year, why not do the planet and your home some good and recycle any unwanted paper.

GIVE food bags to charity
Stocked with food you’ve barely eaten? Donating food to those who need it most is a great way of doing something good while also helping yourself. Make sure any food you give is unopened and check the use by and best before dates before giving.
