Green Tips for September
Campaign for corporations to reduce their impact

Reduce - Buy less stuff. You probably don't need half of it. Can you borrow or buy secondhand.
Reuse - If you buy something. Use it again and again. Lend it out. Fix it if broken.
Recycle - Pass it on. Use it for something else. Upcycle.

Don't throw away, fix it - the next Repair Cafe in Leeds is Saturday 6th October - take any broken items there to be fixed. If you are a fixer, offer your services. They are educating Leeds on how to fix their own gear, they also have specialist equipment which can make fixing expensive.
