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 eleven

Mining our landfills for valuable recyclables

It’s a short interview, well worth listening to, with Peter Mills, commercial director at New Earth Solutions. His company is considering rubbish mining.
