Could you repair it rather than replace it?
Broken doesn't always mean it's finished.
Could it be repaired or donated to a charity shop?
Keeping something in use for just a little longer helps reduce waste and often saves money too.

What items have you saved from going to waste?

An infographic on a pale purple background titled "FIVE EASY WASTE-SAVING SWAPS" with green accent lines and a circular arrows logo in the top-right corner. It displays five numbered, color-coded organic shapes showing waste-reduction alternatives: 01 (Blue): A crushed plastic water bottle with an arrow pointing to a green reusable water bottle, labeled "Plastic bottle -> Reusable bottle". 02 (Purple): A roll of paper towels pointing to a folded waffle-weave green cloth, labeled "Kitchen roll -> Reusable cloth". 03 (Green): A power drill with a price tag pointing to an identical power drill, labeled "New drill -> Borrow it". 04 (Purple): A plush teddy bear pointing to a spool of thread, needle, buttons, and patch, labeled "New toy -> Repair it". 05 (Blue): A plate of pasta pointing to pasta stored in a green lunch container, labeled "Leftovers -> Tomorrow's lunch". A typographic graphic on a light background with large bold text arranged vertically: "SMALL SWAPS. SAVE MONEY. SAVE WASTE." The words "SMALL SWAPS" are in purple, "SAVE MONEY" in green with green sparkle lines above, and "SAVE WASTE" in dark blue above a light blue underline. To the right of the text is a hand-drawn style outline of a heart in green.
