My plastic free life: busy single mummy & business owner — eco-friendly

Brrrrrr... it's chilly out there!  It got me thinking about ways to navigate through the cold spell, in environmentally friendly ways that connect us back to our place and our planet, and our loved ones all at the same time.  I think of winter, and I think of the word COLD first and foremost... so I have taken that word and have come up with some ideas for green activities and sustainable products that can help you through the bleakest of icy, wintery weather.   C-uddles O-utdoor Activities L-ayers D-o Less     C - is for CUDDLES Winter is...

Hi, My name is Jenny Barrett. I live in Hove on the South East coast of the UK. I’m the founder of SuperLooper, the preloved baby clothing rent and recycle service.

This year they have a really helpful calendar called 31 Days of Plastic Free Choices which shares some popular ideas for reducing plastic waste. For me, Plastic Free July it's a chance to focus on my personal plastic-free pledge, to reduce my plastic consumption even further, and to celebrate my plastic-free successes so far! I've been inspired by the Plastic Free Choices calendar,...
