Reducing waste at home is one thing but when you’re outside that zone it might get tricky. Having a car kit with essentials like cups, cutlery, planted, napkins, produce bags and more helps us reduce waste when we’re out as a family.

Zero waste in the bathroom so difficult as it might seems. When we started our journey to zero waste in 2006 there were no replacements while today there are a growing market for plastic free and sustainable alternatives for almost everything in the bathroom. I love to see how a higher demand from consumers is bring more option.

Lots of sprouting happing in my kitchen. Sprouts can be grown at any time of year in even the smallest home, and on the smallest budget. What’s more they’re packed with vitamins and nutrients, and one of the healthiest foods you can eat.
