THE BEGINNING

Convenience.

That is what our family currently lives for. What I live for.

Convenience comes with a price. One that I am no longer willing to pay. One that I am no longer wanting the earth to pay for.

Our family of six, consumes A LOT. We have a wheelie bin that we easily fill every week.

I really want to jump in and go zero waste! At the same time, I have no idea what I am getting myself in for, how challenging it is going to be etc.

I just feel like I have had an awakening and I am super exciting about making changes. At the same time, I am scared I'm going to fall flat on my face.

Baby steps, baby steps.....breathe!

My plan of attack this week:
  • Go through our kitchen bin (where most of the rubbish comes from) and see where our rubbish is coming from. (DONE)
  • Start composting. (DONE)
  • Shop at the bulk bins. (DONE)
  • Collect and put bags in the car for shopping. (DONE!)
Wish me luck!
