Our guest blogger this week is Stella Holt, who has shared her fabulous piece on how to handle all types of household waste. Humans waste a lot, be it money, water, resources, or food.

No Bake Cranberry Slice
I’m a big fan of reducing waste throughout our house and that includes the fridge and pantry. The saying “waste not, want not” certainly applies here – my aim is to use everything I can and to throw as little as possible away. This often means creating something new out of something old or coming up with a recipe that …

These days we have designed obsolescence which means appliances are designed not to last too long, so that you will need to buy another one and keep the manufacturers very happy. So I love this website which only stocks cookware, …
Sick of plastic vegetables?
Sick of plastic vegetables? I get so frustrated when I need to buy vegetables and they come wrapped in plastic. There is just no need and it simply adds to the masses of plastic polluting our land fills. So I was delighted to see that there is a petition being organised to send to Countdown to ask them to stop …
