Why not make a list of which pantry staples you need and ping it over to me at [email protected] - I'll help reduce your plastic waste by packing up your order in paper bags for delivery or collection

🌞 🛒This Plastic Free July, people are finding lots of ways to reduce and refuse single-use plastic while they shop.

Kate Raynor shared this photo, saying: “When I did my food shopping yesterday, I decided to prioritise plastic free packaging wherever I could.”

She adds: “We're just using too much of it for single use, in part due to our processed diets. Initiatives like Plastic Free July hopefully help people be a bit more mindful about it.”

Before going to a shop, many Plastic Free July participants plan ahead by asking themselves:
✅ Where can I buy in bulk or packaging free?
✅ What do I already have in my fridge, freezer or pantry that I can use first?
✅ What’s one swap I can try this week?
✅ What is this really necessary for me to buy?

We’d love to hear how you shop whilst reducing plastic waste! Share your tips or challenges below 👇

The Joys of Blackberry Picking!

Blackberry picking is one of my favourite activities - its worth the stings and scratches for the delicious fruit!

You can massivly reduce single use plastic if you replace them for your normal plastic bagged berries.

Blackberries aren’t just delicious — they’re packed with vitamin C, fibre, and antioxidants, making them brilliant for your immune system, digestion, and overall wellbeing.

Buying blackberries when they’re in season (July–September in the UK) supports local growers and keeps your food miles low. When picking yourself you can also freeze them to enjoy their goodness all year round — perfect for smoothies, crumbles, or porridge toppers later in the year!

Tip: Lay them out on a tray to freeze before popping them in a container — this keeps them from clumping together.

📦💨 Plastic = CO2. Here’s h📦💨 Plastic = CO2. Here’s how much.ow much.

In the UK, plastic production and disposal pumps out 2 million tonnes of CO2 every year.

That’s like adding nearly 900,000 cars to the road.
All for packaging we use once. 😬

But you can change that.
Refilling your essentials instead of buying new plastic can cut packaging waste by over 90%. That’s 30–40kg of CO2 saved per person every year – just by switching your rice, pasta, oats and more.

💚 Less plastic.
💚 Less carbon.
💚 More impact.
