The meat free challenge is still going remarkably well and I no longer hear my husband pining for a good old steak or counting the days to the end of the month. Maybe our habits have changed enough in the last 3 weeks to sustain them beyond the challenge?
Apart from the enjoyment of cooking with new ingredients, there has been an unexpected lightbulb moment last week: the increased amount of fruit and veg waste convinced me to compost again.
We have always grown fruit and veg in our garden and for years we used our two compost bins. And then, I’m not quite sure why, we stopped using them. Perhaps the convenience of the food waste bin introduced by the council some years ago led us to be more complacent about sorting our food waste.
I resolved to change this last week so now the family is instructed to leave all the compostable waste in a separate container – a reused ice cream tub.

cCHANGE Team commented on Day 24: Regaining good habits 2 years agoHi Caroline, Wonderful to read that you are picking up composting again! And that your husband is no longer pining for steak or counting the days until the challenge is over. :) What are you planning to use the compost for? Yes, it will be very interesting to see what habits you hold on to after the challenge is over. Have you had a chance to read the coaching posts in the last few days? We are exploring the personal sphere - beliefs, values, courage, worldviews, etc. These aspect can be so important, they can determine the relationship we have with the environment, systems, each other, ourselves, etc. Do you think your perspective or relationship with meat or vegetables or nature has shifted a bit as a result of the focus you have been giving these things in the last month? It was also really interesting to read on Day 22 how you have been inspired by the other participants who are reducing their plastic waste, we are going to be talking a bit more about ripple effects in the last few days. (That halloumi burger looked lovely too, by the way!). Only a few days left now! Thanks for the great updates. Best wishes, Leonie Respond
