There’s been a lot of talk in the media lately about how much waste we create – mainly thanks to the excellent War on Waste series. The idea of actually cutting back on our waste can be overwhelming though, so today I wanted to share some steps to reducing waste that anyone can try! I’d love to hear your tips as well!
In the past I have talked about the environmental problems caused by plastic bags, takeaway coffee cups and wet wipes, so today I thought I would talk all about the problem with straws as well! Given their small size they may seem innocuous but unfortunately that’s far from the case, but thankfully there are easy ways we can all be part of the solution as well!
Shopping in bulk buy bins can be a great way to both save money and reduce the amount of waste you create, but there are a few things to keep in mind to make the most of it. Today I wanted to share some of my top tips, and I’d love to hear your tips as well!
It may seem counterintuitive to be recommending items to help move towards zero waste living but it does make sense, I promise! Today I wanted to talk about the top 7 items I’ve added to my life over the last few years that have meant I now create less waste on a day-to-day basis. All of them are quite simple (and generally cheap) but having them in your home (and using them of course!) will make a big difference to the planet.
Over the colder months my work-day breakfast has become pretty standard – 2 eggs on sourdough, with some spinach or, since they’ve been back in season, avocado. It’s simple, healthy, delicious and keeps me full until lunchtime (and I make sure to choose ethical eggs of course!). As a result I’ve found myself with lots of egg shells on hand, so today I wanted to share my top 7 uses for egg shells with you all, and I’d love to hear your tips as well!
