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.

Sunday roundup ten
It’s been another busy zero waste week here at Chez Green. We’re getting a great response to our September zero waste pledge and win week. We’ve had people signing up for heaps of pledges for the week. It’s going to be a real celebration zero waste week! Make sure you sign up too. Even if […]
Tesco slashes bag use by 40 per cent
Good news from Tesco as they slash their carrier bag use by 40%. They claim this has been done by offering customers the incentive of having points put on their loyalty card every time they reuse their own bags. The original article was published on Business Green yesterday and was via Big Green Switch: The […]
Decluttering books
I was thinking about the pledge I made to myself yesterday. About actually TAKING things to the charity shop or listing them on Freecycle, instead of living among piles of ‘stuff’. I walked into my room where I keep all my books this morning and was confronted with masses of them. I’m quite sure they […]

Weekly weigh in ten
It’s our tenth weekly weigh in. This one seems to have come around so quickly. I can’t believe another week has gone. I think I’m getting a little edgy because our zero waste week is so close now. Just two more weeks to polish up our ‘no rubbish’ skills a little more so that we […]
“The Book of Rubbish ideas” by Tracy Smith
My good friend (well, actually, we’ve spoken twice, but it sounds good) Tracy Smith, is publishing her first book next month called ‘The Book of Rubbish ideas’. For those of you who are wondering who Tracy is, she’s a writer and broadcaster on sustainable living. She also created the International Downshifting week – a campaign […]
Earn ‘green’ loyalty points
The other week, Mr Green said to me ‘Wouldn’t it be great if some company offered a kind of ‘loyalty points scheme’ where the rewards were something to do with the environment rather than ones that encourage us to buy more plastic waste like dvds and electronic goods?’ And, as if by magic, Richard from […]
Rubbish is fast becoming the new gold as cost of raw materials rises
This is what we like to see. Ok, we’d love it if people and companies recycled more because it benefits the environment, but that’s not always the reality. So if we can bring cold, hard cash into the equation, I think we might see some significant changes. Just as my view is that people who […]
