Mrs Green
I am a long time supporter of the Green and Sustainable lifestyle. After being caught in the Boscastle floods in 2004, our family begun a journey to respect and promote the importance of Earth's fragile ecosystem, that focussed on reducing waste. Inspired by the beauty and resourcefulness of this wonderful planet, I have published numerous magazine articles on green issues and the author of four books.

weekly weigh in 47
Goodness me – it’s seven weeks since I did a weigh in! Mr Green grumbled “Why are there two crisp packets on the side?” to which I replied they should be in the landfill container. When I approached it, I realised it was overflowing, figured out what had happened and checking back through the site, […]

SWARD (Safety in Waste and Rubbish Disposal) is inviting local residents to join a march organised by a parish council near Javelin Park, Gloucester, to show […]
An emergency food waste week!
Ok, I’m holding my hands up and making a massive confession. Yesterday I went through my ‘fridge and boy was it scary. There was a MOUNTAIN of food I had to compost. I was so annoyed with myself because I even threw out; check this out; diced potatoes for making mash and prepared, chopped carrots […]
