We ate the sun for breakfast
Well, I mean, what is this weather all about? We had rain solidly last night and it’s still raining now. A stout, environmentalist, concerned-about-emissions friend said to me the other day “If I had a few hundred quid, I’d board a plane to Crete just to get some sun”. I think many of us are […]
Uh oh – an item for landfill?
I’m sure many of you will not have slept last night with the excitement of what Little Miss Green bought home with her yesterday after her day out. I reminded her before she went to think about packaging, but hey she’s only seven; I wasn’t expecting miracles. Especially as many adults don’t know what can […]
And on to tea
Little Miss Green is growing up – it’s official. This evening she started BROWNIES ladies and gentlemen. How about that? I do have to tell a warm and fuzzy story after our ‘near miss’ with the mail this morning. I bought the uniform from a friend of mine about 6 weeks ago and this story […]
Oh no! Something for the landfill?
With all the best plans in the world, you never know when something unexpected is going to happen. This morning it did!

The quest for zero waste honey
It shouldn’t be difficult to buy honey should it? It’s readily available in glass jars as well as the plastic squeezy containers, which always retain a bit of honey in the bottom no matter what you do. But glass jars are ok for zero waste, if they come with a metal lid, right? Well, kind […]
More zero waste presents
Yesterday, Mrs A started our week of zero waste celebrations with a beautiful and generous gift. She sent us a bouquet of flowers from Wiggly Wigglers, complete with recyclable packaging. Today, our neighbour came over with some fresh beetroot from his garden and half a dozen eggs from his chickens. Beetroot is one of my […]
