Reading List

So, as part of my previously mentioned research I’m reading, Googling and Youtubing my way to understanding this task I’ve decided to take on.

Just recently I attended an interview for another job and when the interviewer discovered my intentions for 2019 they recommended this book:

I would 100% recommend it and although its subject matter is not exclusively zero waste it has some great ideas to reduce your household plastic usage. Particularly interesting for me was realising that recycling schemes depend on your local council and something you might throw in your recycling bin in Manchester is entirely different to Salford.

If, like me, you live in the Greater Manchester area I would recommend visiting this site as it really makes you think about what you’re throwing into those different coloured wheelie bins.

Next on the reading list Bea Johnson’s Zero Waste Home

 

 

New Year (not quite), New Me

The aim of this blog will be to document my 2019 New Years Resolution. There must be a million or more failed resolution blogs out there but I’d like think my previous experience might help me out.

2017 was the birth of the resolution for me. The aim? To drink water and only water for an entire year. Once I had that one under my belt and the taste for a challenge it was time to take on 2018, this time Veganism. So far so good on that one but what’s in store for 2019?

Environmentalism is often included in many heated debates about the Vegan diet:

‘The single most effective thing you can do to reduce your impact on the environment is to cut down on meat consumption, or cut it out altogether.’ 

You’ve probably heard that one before but how can you go further than that? Zero waste, that’s how.

So the aim for 2019 is clear, reduce my household waste throughout the year to eventually reach the goal of zero.

First step, research. A lot of research.
