Interview with Little Miss Green about zero waste week
All week long, I’ve been hogging the blog! Mr Green has been working behind the scenes and adding some posts and comments, but we’ve heard nothing from Little Miss Green.
I offered her the opportunity to write her own post but she declined with a scowl and a ‘I’m not using the computer!’
I then offered to transcribe while she dictated, thinking she might enjoy the power trip, but that didn’t enthuse her either.
However, sitting on the sofa pretending to play “TV interview” captured her imagination a little more. So what does a seven year old think of zero waste week and has she understood the concept of anything we were trying to achieve?
Sit back, relax and find out:
Later on, when Little Miss Green is in bed, Mr Green and I be going through the box of everything we have produced this week to show you how we’ve got on. We think we’ve done well with nothing for landfill, but you’ll just have to wait and find out for real.
Stay tuned!

Last night I ran out of a reel of sellotape and was left with a plastic inner. Little Miss Green said she would reuse it for her fairies, but my conscience kicked in and I wasn’t sure if that we genuine reuse or whether it was, in fact, a landfill item. How could I bring myself to deceive my favourite readers?

Noooooooo! You get the vote - landfill or not?
I have to laugh at this. You remember earlier on I was packing up books for Amazon sales? Well, as you might have guessed I use old packaging. Old jiffy envelopes, cardboard and cardboard that has come into the house gets saved up and put to good use later on.

Nurse Green saves the landfill
We had another near miss this evening. Mr Green offered to prepare the potatoes ready for tomorrow’s lunch, so off he went to the kitchen.
A couple of moments later he reappeared with blood dripping from his finger.
That’s a bit of an elaborate stunt to get out of preparing the veg, don’t you think?
