I am not going to spend a lot of time on this piece – if you are reading this to start with you are already looking at ways to reduce your (plastic) waste, so here are some of the things which I am committed to doing:

Buy NO food in Plastic Packaging

Ok, this was a hard one, and on the 1st of October 2018 I bit the bullet and pledged to do this…. it is damned hard, to be honest! Things like bread, I don’t buy anyway, as I prefer to bake my own, but for fresh fruit and vegetables it is especially hard! So, I am trying to buy fruit and vegetables from the local grocers as much as possible. I have never been one for ready meals, and am trying to make my own pizzas (pretty much the only “ready meal” I ever purchase!).

Globally, KeepCup users avoid over 5 million disposable cups daily. Every minute around the world, one million disposable cups are used and discarded. I have used KeepCups for years.... not just out and about, but at home too (*clumsy* coughs). They come in a variety of sizes and designs - I love all the colours available - it is like the pick-a-mix at Woolworth's! Go out and Espress(o) yourself!

Smart meters help you make better sense of the energy you use so you are in a position to both lower your bills and do your bit for the planet.

EDF fitted one for me today! I had someone come out last year to fit one, but they were unable to due to the layout of my mains electricity box layout, so I had to then get an electrician to move everything around, and go back on the waiting list… but finally I have one fitted!
