hi , here is the information i took for my project. hope it helps you and many others.
Reduce
■Home composting is a great way to reduce waste - and it creates a useful material that you normally pay to buy. Garden and food waste make up a third of the contents of most dustbins.
■Try to buy items that have less packaging, such as loose fruit or veg.
■Take your own bags to the shops - and not just supermarkets. Carry a spare carrier bag with you and you won't need to take one from a shop.
■If you get a lot of junk mail, use the Mail Preference Service, www.mpsonline.org.uk
Reuse
■Buy products packaged in re-usable, refillable or recyclable containers.
■Highly concentrated products, such as washing powder/liquid, use less packaging and often give greater value for money.
■Give away stuff to charity shops or friends and families.
■Sell unwanted items at a car boot sale or online.
Recycle
There are lots of ways you can recycle in Leeds. You can use your green bin or bag, use bring banks or Household waste sorting sites. It is also important to buy recycled products to increase the market for these items.
Recycling has been around for a long time. The Chinese were recycling as long as 2,000 years ago and so were the Romans. Many household items have `second life` uses, e.g. glass jars, newspapers and tin cans. Virtual tour of materials recycling facility (MRF)
Hi Stefy, you can do a lot by reducing the amount of packaging you buy and consume.
Lots of products now come in eco-friendly packaging, also fill-your-own places are even better to reuse your own bottles.
Things like fast food and easy meals have ridiculous amounts of packaging. You can reduce your consumption there and also improve your health by avoiding these foods.
Good luck!
Aside of recycling, you can also try up-cycling and composting. These are two other ways make a positive impact on environment.

okay, i'm doing some research on the environment. Honestly, i do feel like doing a change around the area. I feel like Earth needs some more supervision and care. You see liter everyday! i think that's horrid! we need mor community service. More environmental clubs. More manicuring the yards and fields. Trash is everywhere. We need more biodegradeble plastics. I need some more information reducing, reusing and recycling. I feel that this act is sooo crucial, but how does it all work?
