If there's one simple swap you can make in 2025 - it's ditching the disposables 🥤 We use on average 70 disposable cups per person, per year in Scotland - make the switch to reusables and make your count 0.

Do you know Scots use 71 single-use cups per person annually—one of the highest rates in the EU. From coffee to cold drinks, disposable cups harm our environment. Do your part by #DitchingTheDisposables

New year, same wardrobe? 👚 If you're wanting to be more sustainable in 2025, one of the best things you can do is shop your wardrobe. Fashion is all about creativity, so instead of buying new, why not try styling an older piece in a new way?

Challenge yourself to a green resolution in 2025 💪 Doing a 'no buy challenge' and only spending on the essentials for a week, month or even the year if you're feeling ambitious is a great way to challenge your habits and save a bit of money in the process.
