Do Individual Actions Make a Difference to Climate Change?
One of the questions I get asked the most is whether small things like eating less meat, using a bamboo toothbrush or composting your veg scraps make any real difference in the grand scheme of things.

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.
