00:00 Here are three quick kitchen swaps you can make to save money and be more sustainable at home.

00:05 First up, Ziploc bags.

00:08 Many of us have a giant pile of Ziploc bags in the kitchen drawer that we regularly use in day-to-day life.

00:13 Sadly, they often end up in our bin or recycling box after one use.

00:18 Swapping to reusable silicone bags might be your answer, as they are non-toxic, last a long time and are even heat resistant.

00:26 Hello, popcorn!

00:28 Next up, kitchen roll.

00:31 With the cost of kitchen roll now rising at an alarming rate, many are now looking for an alternative to save money and reduce waste.

00:39 Buying yourself a set of washable microfiber cloths is a great solution.

00:43 These will save you money in the long term and can be washed multiple times for reuse.

00:48 Finally, plastic straws.

00:51 Many of us are already aware of the devastation plastic straws can cause to the environment.

00:56 In fact, the UK consumes approximately 8.5 billion plastic straws per year.

01:03 Swapping to metal or silicone straws for kids at home is a great substitution.
