Watch the video and choose the best 3 tips in your opinion.

1. Having only one bag to shop saves A LOT of unnecesary plastic bags. In our house, we have a lot of bags and when we started to use only one bag, it reduced space too.

2. Using boxes for extra recycling. My mom use this to put bottles and paperboard and keep the house organized (beacause these things uses a lot of space)

3. Reusable nappys. Why buying disposable nappys when you can have one that only requires clean it?
