This week is #ZeroWasteWeek. In line with our Climate Emergency Declaration, Lowestoft Town Council are promoting this environmental cause as we look to encourage a reduction in waste of all kinds - from food waste to landfill.

There are simple ways that you can make changes to reduce your waste.

• Take your reusable bag to the shops
• Use a refillable water bottle
• Reduce food waste
• Reduce the use of single-use plastic
• Swap a disposable item for a reusable one
• Make sure you are recycling everything that you possibly can

Our website has some pages on ways you can reduce food waste, repair clothes and recycle for more details. Taking this simple steps not only can help with the environment but also help save some money.
