Trying to convert to a sustainable life, step by step.

We’re at a critical point in the fight against the #climatecrisis but the government is still issuing new oil and gas licences. Energy Minister @annietrev and @beisgovuk - show us you’re taking the #climatecrisis seriously, invest in green jobs and go #FossilFree

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

It’s more important than ever that we make our gardens pesticide-free and give our #wildlife a chance to thrive. Join @PAN_UK in asking the UK’s largest supermarkets to follow @coopuk's lead and take these poisons off their shelves #ToxicSupermarkets https://t.co/UcEZxvQvaO

[Slow Food in the UK @slowfooduk]

The latest blog post from @fix_slow ponders what Less meat and Dairy means to her. #SlowMeat, less but better being the way. https://t.co/aDszmeVLvZ #slowfood

Don’t just imagine a nature-rich future – demand it! I’ve joined over 50 organisations calling for nature’s recovery to be written into the #EnvironmentBill It only takes one min, will you? #StateofNature https://t.co/e0MGsNekzY

Allowing the Cumbria deep coal mine means the UK digging up highly-polluting coal for decades to come. @BorisJohnson you claimed you’d “choose a cleaner and greener future for all our children and grandchildren.” Now it’s time to come good on your word - stop the mine. #EndCoal

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

@BorisJohnson you said you were going to bring us a cleaner and greener future. Please make sure that Robert Jenrick scraps the coal mine, so that the future really is greener.

Need a hot drink? Try this. Half a cup of boiling water, topped up with cold water. It is actually satisfying - not to mention healthy and cheap. Any other hot drink is a once-a-day treat at our house.

Learn to love drinking water -tap water. It’s cheaper than anything else, there’s no packaging and no sugar.

Think: ‘Where will it go after me?’ before you buy anything. If it isn’t going to have a long and useful life - don’t buy it.

And that includes the packaging of course!

Does your meat come in one of these bags? Ours does. Ask your butcher or meat supplier to use them instead of plastic. https://t.co/SWJdhXI8J6

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

We need supermarkets to receive and sell their fruit and veg without packaging https://t.co/ZQuRpo4Co5

Our only car is a Nissan Leaf and it’s the change I’m most pleased with so far. If you need a car, when will it be electric? https://t.co/rUILmc1S5N

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

I want a world with #NoPlasticWaste! I want companies to help, create a circular plastic economy, use recycled plastics, and take responsibility for the impact plastic waste has on our environment. The time to act is NOW. https://t.co/Gwk0qAcjVx

One chicken = five family meals. Here’s how. https://t.co/9py1e6jJR4

Start of a new monthly Blog, from Claire @fix_slow as she chronicles her Slow Food Gardening, follow her tales of growing in her back garden of a suburban town. Beautiful writing. https://t.co/YyyJqYN7Yx

@slowfooduk Thanks so much , I’m looking forward to sharing our journey with everyone

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

I switched my mobile to Ecotalk six months ago. I want to contribute to land regeneration for wildlife but I’m also saving money and I got more data than my old provider plan. It’s an easy way to make a difference because we all have a mobile plan.

We settled on only one child. Controversial, huh? It’s my individual contribution to reducing the birth rate. Read more in my post @theslowfix https://t.co/Oyqp7ORnf4

[TheSlowFix @fix_slow]

We try to buy loose and local. At the moment it is Cox apples (UK of course). No individual packaging and no air miles. https://t.co/ZjZSwNCnjD
