As it is World Book Day today I thought I would just share with the you the sustainability books that I have been reading recently. My personal favourites are ‘How Bad Are Bananas’, ‘The Future We Choose’, ‘There is No Planet B’ and ‘The Sustainable(ish) Living Guide’, which is particularly good for dipping in and …
If you are wondering if adjusting your diet really could have an impact on climate change, I can highly recommend watching “Feast to Save the Planet” that is now on BBC iPlayer. Whilst we are all running out of things to watch, it is a bit of light entertainment that also gives some really interesting …
My mantra at the moment is to focus on what I can do rather than what I cannot. Positivity is what I need right now and so I am currently thinking about what my New Year’s resolutions should be to motivate myself. The start of 2021 is unfortunately not going to be the fresh start …
If my boys are going to sing a Christmas song at the top of their voices all the way down the High Street, I figured that it may as well be one with a good message?! So here is our sustainable version of the 12 Days of Christmas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOLndY3KLtg
For anyone that missed the virtual Planet Woking event that I took part in last month, here is the link to the video that is now up on the website. Jen Gale gives some great inspiration and ideas to ‘do what you can’ for a more sustainable way of living and I then follow on …

If you read one book this lockdown please let it be “The Future We Choose”. It is an optimistic and practical book with an insightful view of the current climate crisis and how it can be managed (unfortunately not solved). It is a powerful read and I challenge anyone to read Chapter 2: The World …
Back in August I wrote about how I was trying to reduce our consumption of meat and dairy products. It initially started when I read that “avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental impact on the planet.” So it was a no brainer for me to take some …
Just because we can have it all, doesn’t mean we should. I have absolutely no idea what season different fruits and vegetables can grow here in the UK as our supermarkets have always enabled me buy whatever I like, whenever I like.

I haven’t managed to read a book for about 7 years (mainly due to relentless children and the subsequent tiredness), however on recommendation by a friend I have just finished ‘No More Plastic’ by Martin Dorey.
