A few rubbish thoughts
Do you ever feel like the world is against your plans? I think we’ll all agree that nature abhors a vacuum; if you’re a gardener, you’ll know this from experiences. Gotta space in that soil of yours? No worries, Nature will deliver you a weed……. I feel like it’s been the same with us this […]
It’s starting to get serious
I’m doing a happy dance today, that’s for sure. Rewind a few weeks when Almost Mrs A asked me if I would like to do a zero waste challenge. At that time Mr Green was a ‘lazy environmentalist’. If it was convenient or handy (or saved him a few bob) he’d do it. Anything else […]

Putting new habits into place (and failing)
Old habits die hard don’t they? I was tired, rushed and hassled when I placed my weekly Sainsbury’s order. I unpacked it today to realise I had bought three very non zero waste friendly products:
