What are we doing?

Everyone is feeling the pinch, including councils it seems as our recycling and waste bins are now only picked up once a fortnight. Although this is a pain, it does make us more aware of how much waste and packaging we're going through. Our bins have been bursting with rubbish and we're feeling the guilt! Watching news about how much plastic is filling our oceans, our fish and filling our land makes me feel a tad sick, so it's time to take individual action and sort out our own usage. My daughter is on board and have just come home from school having watched a film about a family who only use one bin bag of waste a year, things like medicine bottles.

Well that puts us to shame, we're filling the equivalent of a bag a week, just of plastic. So it's time to take action and sort out our own conscience. We're going to blog about how to we get on minimising our plastic usage, the choices we make and progress that we make! If you have any advice or comments, please let us know.
