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.

how to minimise your household rubbish – day six
Not long to go, dear readers, before you find out exactly why we have been keeping a bin inventory this week. I hope you’ll think it was worth it. I hope I do too – it’s been an astonishing amount of work to itemise all this stuff!
