Our office has been trying to reduce the amount of plastic it uses. Staff used to buy bottled water, but now there is a machine (27) people can fill their own bottles. The company also stopped providing plastic cups, so everyone was asked to bring (28) reusable one. We have used far (29) plastic since the new system started. The project is not only (30) saving money; it is also about reducing waste. We are now looking (31) other small changes. One idea is to avoid products (32) come in unnecessary packaging. The change has become part of my normal routine, and I now notice the benefits more clearly than I did at the beginning. It has also encouraged me to plan ahead and make small practical improvements.
