I’ve always been interested in ways to cut down on waste and be a bit more connected to the environment and nature. When I fell pregnant, I became aware of the potential for huge amounts of waste, especially as a new mum, because everyone was sending me lists of stuff that you ‘have’ to get. Instead, I looked into the basics and started with things like nappies, as there’s a crazy amount that are used and sent to landfill every day. Over time, and the older my kids got, I started to look at other ways to eliminate plastics and excess waste from all areas of our lives including food, packaging, toiletries, toys and clothes – it’s been a journey.
