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.

This is why we have to reduce our rubbish to landfill
We’ve been harping on about households reducing their landfill waste for a few months now. And I still see piles of the stuff on rubbish collection day up and down the roads. I’m still seeing pictures of glum faces on the front of the paper when someone’s bin is not collected due to ‘contamination’ or […]
