I have always loved nature. I grew up outdoors, swimming, camping, playing in the dirt. I feel guilty and strange when I spend too much time inside. I talk to trees and flowers, bees and birds.
My challenge
Substantially use the other 'R's: Reduce, Reuse, Repair, Refill, Rethink, Refuse

Friday after work I went to the brilliant little zero waste shop in Weston-super-Mare and got lots of goodies. I refilled a plastic shampoo bottle for the first time – it was so easy and really reasonable so I am over the moon and will be refilling my shampoo, dish soap, hand soap etc from now on!!

I also filled up little paper bags with dried fruits for snacks – next time I will take reusable packaging for this.

I got a brilliant, attractive, lightweight parcel of bamboo cutlery that I will be carrying around on campus days to ensure I don’t need to use plastic or single-use cutlery.

I also just put out my milk bottles for collection tomorrow morning when Mill and More delivery the next set of milk and a few other things we’re going to try 🙂

Really enjoying these shifts which seem small now I’m doing them but mean I’m throwing less plastic/tetrapack/recycling in any kind of bin.
