Our green goals for August

Here's some goals we're going to try and achieve in August, we'll get back to you on our progress and advice...

1) Make our own environmentally friendly laundry powder/liquid and hand soap, or at the very least investigate fully the existing options out there. Does it really save money? Is it any better than the enviro stuff already on the market?

2) Give away all unwanted furniture/kitchenware, ensuring it goes to good use and not landfill as much as humanly possible! (Anyone want old seats, rabbit hutch, clothes horse, massive sheet of glass?)

3) Plant late winter veggies: leeks, spring onions, cauliflower, more lettuce.

4) Consider giving any compostable waste away, maybe to CERES, they're only down the road...

5) Look into the effects of eating Fish / Seafood and maybe give up fish... Meat is done and dusted, but now we're not so sure that Fish is really all that good for the environment either...
