One of the biggest things I think will help us towards zero waste is changing our mindset about how much STUFF we need!

Do you impulse buy when #shopping online? 🛍
What about leaving items in your virtual cart for a few days? 🛒 When you check back later, you might find you no longer want it, or realise it’s a vital purchase!

I use lunch boxes regularly for my kid but often forget for myself so am making a pledge to take lunch out with me this week if I need to!

It's #zerowasteweek, woohoo! This year's theme is #refillandreuse and we are being encouraged to share our reusable stories! I have no memory of when I regularly started taking a water bottle everywhere with me - it kind of blows my mind I didn't used to??

Word of the day is Zugzwang [tzoog-tzwung]: a situation in chess (and life) in which a move must be made, but each possible one will make the situation worse.

We went away and my eldest spent the night in a single bed alone for the first time so we're taking the plunge and getting him one. I've wanted to get the IKEA KURA bed for a while...found one nearby on Facebook marketplace for under half price! Win! #lovesecondhand

Managed to bag two books on a secondhand Instagram sale - gutted I missed out on the toy train wash though, would have been great for Christmas! Ruthless, this secondhand world! 😆

[Sustainable Starts @SusStartsLiv]

Day 4 of #SecondHandSeptember and going strong! Haven't bought anything except food or access to places, which has helped.

[Sustainable Starts @SusStartsLiv]

Tracking my waste for #zerowasteweek next week and have come to the conclusion that the best thing I can do for the planet is to throw my toddler away 😬 so much food waste, agh!

[Sustainable Starts @SusStartsLiv]

Go away Schuh, I'm doing #SecondHandSeptember ! Stop tempting me with your brightly coloured shoes.

From the 18th September, nobody will pay more than £2 for a single bus journey.

That's the difference Labour in power makes.

16000 wheelie bins of rubbish a day gets sent to be burnt in the North East. Admittedly the energy is then used to power house (not ours!), but there's a lot of harmful waste products coming from that amount of rubbish. #zerowastelcr

Planting trees can’t save us. Only ending the fossil fuel industry, the animal agriculture industry, and extractive capitalism can do that.
