So, in this extremely weird time, lockdown 3.0, I just sort of… stopped shaving? It started because I ran out of razorblades, and then by the time I got some, I had gotten into the habit of not bothering. Then, I suddenly realised that actually, I didn’t feel like shaving.

Things I don’t do Zero Waste
Ouch, what a title. Potentially a controversial statement, but I think that it is more important for everyone to reduce their waste than for some people to eliminate their waste.

I’m Dreaming of a Green Christmas

Should Black Friday be Green Friday?
