Well this is something to celebrate. Mr Green and I have said all along, that if money and resources were put into education and reprocessing / recycling facilities we could solve the whole landfill – incineration – ships to China issue within a year.

Our zero waste celebration Sunday lunch
It’s a bit like Christmas really; zero waste week is nearly at an end after months of planning. We had our Saunday lunch, had a sleep afterwards and now there are a few hours left to enjoy the day. We had another near miss just before lunch. We thought we had struck gold in the […]
