The City of Sedalia is reminding residents about some quick tips to reduce pollution and save you money.

1. Invest in a reusable water bottle — having a reusable water bottle not only helps reduce the amount of plastic used but also can help you save money.

2. Make your coffee at home — many disposable cups are tossed every day at coffee shops. This amount of waste can be prevented by bringing your own mug or making your coffee at home.

3. Bring a reusable bag to the grocery store — for any shopping activities bring a reusable bag to reduce consumption of disposable bags.

4. Avoid using any single-use items — help reduce the amount of plastic used by refusing plastic straws and disposable cutlery when you go out to eat.

5. Shop in bulk — when you have the option, consider purchasing larger containers instead of multiple little containers to help reduce the amount of packaging.
