Cutting back on waste

3:35

But maybe I could have a bath less often.

3:40

Find other ways of relaxing which are less wasteful.

3:43

What about you? Anything you want to cut back on?

3:47

Yeah, I think, we talked about single-use plastic.

3:52

You know, clingfilm,

3:55

the very thin, like, sheet...

3:57

sheets of plastic that you wrap food in.

4:01

Yeah.

4:02

I always feel bad when I use that stuff, but it's also really convenient

4:06

and does its job well keeping a sandwich together or whatever.

4:12

But I don't like it, so I want to cut down on my use of clingfilm.

4:24

Let's recap the vocabulary we heard in this conversation.

4:28

We had 'waste'. 'Waste' is things that are unwanted like rubbish,

4:32

and we can also describe something as 'a waste'

4:35

when someone uses something they don't need to,

4:38

or they throw something away after not using it.

4:41

So, for example, when my kids don't finish their dinner, that's a waste.

4:47

We had 'single-use plastics'.
