Blog
Follow our progress in the zero waste challenge. The good, the bad and the downright rotten (usually back of the fridge) stories. We blog our daily events, tips and experiences to show that reducing your household waste is possible, it saves you money and helps to protect the environment.
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.

Find out about the conversation Mr Green and I had to tackle about a rather sensitive issue. By Tuesday I was getting a little despondent about some […]
Sugar and spice
Wednesday is ‘Wednesday box’ day here at Chez Green. Can you guess what Wednesday box is? It’s the day when Little Miss Green gets to choose something treaty from her Wednesday box. It used to be a Friday box, for reasons that are really over and beyond necessary to explain here.
Everybody’s talking rubbish

From our neighbours, to shop keepers, to checkout girls, to friends and even perfect strangers, everyone has something to say. We’ve had an amazing response when we’ve explained to people what we are doing. Even those who […]
