#BuyNothingNewMonth 2023
This month, we are supporting Keep Britain Tidy's January initiative . On each Tuesday throughout the month, we’ll be sharing tips and tricks on how you can buy nothing new and make the most of what you already have. We will be calling on you to rethink what you want versus what you need, reconsider if you can repair versus replace and think about whether you can rent, borrow or buy second-hand rather than buy new. Look out for these on our social media channels .
