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.

Monthly challenge for July
Welcome to our second monthly zero waste challenge! During June, our first monthly challenge, we asked you to simply become aware of the recycling facilities that are available in your area. Having this knowledge is the first step towards reducing your rubbish and the amount of waste you send to landfill each week. Hopefully you […]
How to save heaps of money on salad
Happy July! Just a quick blog post from me today as there is lots to do on the site, such as a new competition for July, announcing the June winner, new discounts for our summer months and dragging out a dustbin demon for name and shame. yipee! So here’s a fun ‘Spot the difference’ quiz […]
Monday confessional
Forgive us readers, for we have sinned. Here’s our second confessional and what a biggie it is too. Last week, we tripped off to Devon for a few days of sunshine, sand dunes and salty air. We were self catering and were positioned a mile from a rather delicious Waitrose. Being supermarket snobs, we were […]
Sunday roundup
Well, we skived off to Devon for a jolly old shindig and most of you didn’t even realise. Such is the power of modern technology. You can pop off for a jaunt around the country and the blog fairies take care of post dating your thoughts while you’re away. Shame they don’t do the housework […]
Weekly weigh in number three

That means we have practically HALVED the amount of rubbish we send to landfill in two short weeks. Yee haa and hurrah, bravo and encore and all sorts of other fun exclamations. To […]
Making yogurt
Since beginning our zero waste challenge, we’ve been left with a bag of plastic each week to put out for the landfill. Everything else can be recycled or reused. I realised that around a third of that landfill waste over the past couple of weeks has been yogurt pots! We get through one large pot […]
Inspiring rubbish champions
Yesterday I promised I would talk about some people who are doing their bit to reduce the amount of rubbish they send to landfill. There are two people in our village for example, who put out virtually nothing for the rubbish collection each week. They don’t write a website about it, talk about it or […]
Rubbish Ramblings
I can’t believe how quickly my thoughts have changed about this whole ‘zero waste’ challenge lark. When we started out, just three short weeks ago, there was a man who put in many comments all across the site; John Costigane . He really was a stalwart (don’t know if you are still reading John?) and […]
