1. Spring Cleaning
Instead of throwing away belongings that are still in good condition, why not donate or sell them as pre-loved?
2. Good as ‘new’ red packets
If your old red packets are still good, why not reuse them? Choose slot-in packets instead of glue-on as it allows the receiver to reuse the angpao packets after receiving them. Either that or start using e-angpaos instead!
3. Decorations
Jazz up your home with old props if they’re still in good condition. Get creative – refashion, redesign, reorganise your décor. Believe it or not, this is what malls do sometimes to make their décor look different every year!
4. Choose paper straws over plastic
If you’re planning on getting drink packs for your guests, opt for those with paper straws instead of plastic. If you don’t already know, 100% of Nestlé Malaysia’s “air kotak” now comes with paper straws that can be fully recycled!
5. Prepare bins for recyclables
Prepare segregated bins and encourage your guests to jump on the green train and recycle their wastes!
6. Recycle used drink packs for communities in need
