A surprising sustainability story…
For a while now, I’ve been conscious of the need to use peat-free compost to help protect the planet. I’m no expert but I know that peat is a highly unsustainable material and its extraction bad for the environment in several ways: primarily, peat bogs store carbon and its mining releases a load of CO2… Continue reading A surprising sustainability story…
Doing the right thing is hard, but…
Last week, I posted excitedly that I was looking forward to taking all my extra recycling to various Terracycle drop-off points in my local area. For those who don’t know, this is a scheme whereby different categories of rubbish that aren’t taken by kerbside recycling can be taken to locations that have been set up… Continue reading Doing the right thing is hard, but…
This post is a load of rubbish…
This is a rubbish picture of a whole load of rubbish. Overall, I think it’s safe to say it’s RUBBISH. But it pleases me immensely. Why? I’ll tell you why: because this is all rubbish that, until recently, I’d have had to send straight to landfill due to the limitations of kerbside recycling. However, now… Continue reading This post is a load of rubbish…
Oddbox: the future of sustainable produce?
I recently started getting produce from Oddbox, which rescues fruit & veg that would otherwise go in the bin and deliver it to folk like me who want to eat lovely food and help save the planet at the same time. It’s pretty awesome: much of what they rescue is simply surplus, others don’t meet… Continue reading Oddbox: the future of sustainable produce?
I wish I’d known this before about recycling…
Back before lockdown, when I was still working in an office on a regular basis, I was really pleased to discover one day that a crisp packet recycling collection box had appeared in the office kitchen (that’s chip packet to those who speak American English!). I started happily collecting packets from home and bringing them… Continue reading I wish I’d known this before about recycling…
Deepest disappointment and glimmers of hope…
I wrote a while back about how I hoped people’s travel behaviours – both locally and on a global scale – would change in the post-pandemic world. This is the first in a short series of posts to reflect on those hopes and on my own travel actions and aspirations. Many cyclists, walkers and urban… Continue reading Deepest disappointment and glimmers of hope…

Container Gardening: steps to self-sufficiency!
I posted a while back about my very modest progress in the world of growing my own veg this year, and have achieved so much more since then I barely know where to start! My biggest challenge was being unsure whether I had the space to plant very much: whilst we have access to a… Continue reading Container Gardening: steps to self-sufficiency!
Making my own snacks to save on waste!
I love making my own tasty, clean and eco-friendly sweet snacks, which is both healthier for me and reduces the amount of packaging I have to buy and dispose of! I’ve enjoyed experimenting with some fun energy ball flavours these last couple of weeks… Let me know if you’d like to see recipes and be… Continue reading Making my own snacks to save on waste!
Introducing my favourite eco-friendly household items
When it comes to making eco-friendly choices, I find household items are one of the most challenging things. So many of the basic things we use in daily life – like toiletries and cleaning products – generate a lot of plastic waste and other environmental issues. From growing natural sponges to recyclable toothpaste tubes, slowly… Continue reading Introducing my favourite eco-friendly household items
