Zero Waste: Kitchen
Creating a zero waste kitchen is probably the part of the house I have been struggling with most. It seems more difficult (more effort) and is definitely more expensive as there are so many different things to cover. For one, we are used to using so many different cleaning products but, actually, with a little…… Continue reading Zero Waste: Kitchen
Zero Waste – Period
Let’s jump right in: Who remembers Fatberg from last year? A 130 tonne solid block of waste, blocking Londons sewers, partially made from tampons and sanitary products that have been flushed down the toilet. Personally, I’ve never understood this issue because I’ve never met anyone who flushes tampons down the toilet, everyone knows not to…… Continue reading Zero Waste – Period

A lot of people find even just the idea of them gross and don’t even want to hear about it,…… Continue reading Zero Waste: Menstrual Cup

Zero Waste – The Basics
[features gifted items] A massive movement you’ve probably not been able to escape recently is the public effort to go plastic-free – now, this doesn’t mean throwing away all your plastic items and starting again. Anything plastic you have already, try and keep/use for as long as possible! The idea of living plastic-free is mostly…… Continue reading Zero Waste – The Basics

I first heard about Primal Suds via Eco Green Revolution (A plastic free and zero waste online supermarket that stocks loads of awesome indie brands, treat yourself and save the planet!) who kindly gifted me a few of their favourite items and within that package was a bar of Primal Suds solid soap. I unboxed it and…… Continue reading Primal Suds

Plans are hopefully coming together and Christmas shopping is on its way to being completed, finally!
