How to Reduce your plastic use

Buy in bulk: there aren't any official bulk stores in Te Anau but there are in other towns/cities.

Avoid single use plastic as much as possible.

Try making things like bread instead of buying them in plastic.

Find products that have paper packaging instead of plastic. You can then compost that paper. See below. 

Wash then reuse zip lock bags instead of buying new ones. It's cheaper as well.
