For those looking to reduce their waste, our reader Bernard Caldjjd found a very simple and inexpensive trick with a pair of scissors. Over here the clever ecologists!
A few years ago the government launched a TV advertising campaign entitled "Let's quickly reduce our waste, it's overflowing" . You could see trash cans full of waste growing and growing, until they became as big as the buildings around.
Well our reader Bernard Caldjjd knows how to avoid disaster:by cutting the packaging ! Indeed, a lot of cardboard or plastic packaging takes up a lot of space in garbage bags, whereas it would be enough to cut them into pieces to reduce the space occupied as much as possible.
An unwrapped package or a plastic bottle takes up 3 times more space than their actual area. Why? Because of all the empty space they contain. While cutting them out, we reduce them in an impressive way. Magical, isn't it?
Otherwise, I don't know if you know, but the packaging is in the yellow bin let's throw them away!
And you? What tricks do you use to reduce your waste? Don't hesitate to share your knowledge in the comments, it's overflowing!
On our Facebook Page, our Internet users react. Nathalie advises us, for example, to have a dog to eat the leftovers (the good ones) and save space in the trash. She also explains how scrap dealers can buy empty cans and cans. Join us!
By cutting up packaging and bottles, their surface area is reduced by two thirds. In addition to being ecological since it allows you to limit waste, this trick is ultra economical, and you will understand why:
It's very simple, by reducing your waste by two thirds, you reduce your use of garbage bags by two thirds , so you save two thirds of the amount normally spent on garbage bags.
In my case, for example, I save 5 euros per month with this trick. Thank you Bernard!
