A peek in our bin
Two of the most helpful steps I took when I started on the pathway to zero waste back in early 2015 were...
Buy Nothing Christmas
“It’s too soon!” I hear some of you shouting. Well, I hate to break it to you, but Christmas is ten weeks away and, as some people like to get their festive season organised sooner rather than later, I thought that now would be a good time to start this conversation.
The Garbage of Eden
I live in a suburb called Glen Eden. Generally speaking, it’s a lovely place to call home. Surrounded by trees, with the gorgeous Waitakere Ranges just to the west, nice local parks and plenty of native birdlife.
However, sadly, it wasn’t exuding particularly eden-like qualities today.
Mmmm…banana peels
Remember when you were a kid and you’d throw a bunch of random, possibly inedible things into a bowl, mix it all up and pretend you were Alison Holst? “And now you stir it like this”. Ah, those were the days. Well…that’s a little how it feels to make Banana Peel Cake.
