My Waste Free Day for WRAP’s Recycle Week Mon, 29 Jun 2009 17:56:50 +0000 Last week I pledged to go waste free for a day. You can find out how I got on, and what I learned, over at My Zero Waste, where I have written a guest post: Zoe’s Waste Free day for WRAP’s Recycle week. My Sustainable Gardening Tips have also been featured on Be More Eco. All in [...]
Recycle Week 2009 Sat, 20 Jun 2009 16:22:07 +0000 Recycle Week 2009 starts on Monday 22nd June. This year’s theme is ‘Let’s waste less’ and you can make a pledge at http://www.recyclenow.com/. It wasn’t hard for me to pick my pledge as I already do all of them except one: I pledge to go waste free for a day, or I will cook all the [...]
Sustainable Gardening Tips Mon, 01 Jun 2009 19:51:52 +0000 Growing your own veg is undoubtedly better, for you and the planet, than buying them from the supermarket. However, the way you grow your vegetables also has its own effect on the environment. The obvious issue is whether to use chemicals (including fertilizers, weedkillers and pesticides) or whether to go organic. But beyond that, there are [...]
National Vegetarian Week Tue, 19 May 2009 19:42:01 +0000 Ok, so I’ll start with a confession: I am not a vegetarian. However, I do like to dabble in a bit of veggie cooking now and then, and I am taking babysteps to reduce the amount of meat I eat. My reasons? It is greener, healthier and cheaper. This week is National Vegetarian Week (18 [...]
Book Review: Shades of Green by Paul Waddington Sun, 10 May 2009 14:21:17 +0000 This is a repost of a book review I wrote last year. Nothing in life is black and white, and this goes for being green as well. In Shades of Green, Paul Waddington tackles a range of areas from aeroplanes to wine and outlines different choices, ranking them from ‘deep green’ to ‘not at all green’. [...]
Folia: Facebook for Gardeners Sat, 25 Apr 2009 12:53:24 +0000 MyFolia.com is my absolute favourite gardening website. It is basically an online gardening journal, with Web 2.0 bells and whistles like plant wikis and social networking groups. I use it to keep a record of what I am doing in my garden, and I find it is much easier to keep track of everything than using a [...]
Green Shopping: Buy Less Stuff Sun, 12 Apr 2009 10:00:41 +0000 Remember the three R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle? I think we’re starting to get the hang of recycling, but what about reducing? Reduce the amount of stuff you buy and you will reduce the amount of waste and pollution that is created. If you want to know more then take a look at The Story of Stuff. Think [...]
Leftover Love: Bananas Sat, 07 Mar 2009 17:04:16 +0000 We are bananas for bananas in my house. We buy them every week. I take one to work with me every day for my lunch. They are delicious and nutritious. Yep, we love our bananas. However, no matter how many bananas we get through in a week, we often seem to end up with one or two dreaded [...]
Eating Less Meat Sun, 01 Mar 2009 16:06:15 +0000 As I mentioned in this post, one of the things I would like to do to make my lifestyle more sustainable is to eat less meat. As I work full time, I take my own lunches to work, so I have mostly been alternating between cheese sandwiches and marmite rice cakes (sooo yum!). I did [...]
The Thrift Book: Live well and spend less, by India Knight Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:18:35 +0000 The Thrift Book I can’t remember where I first heard about this book, but I reserved it from my local library last week, collected it on Monday lunchtime, and finished reading it on Tuesday evening. Which is unheard of since I was a teenager. I love this book. I wish I had written it. It is fantastic. [...]
