Confessions of an eco shopper by Kate Lock

Are muddy carrots worth the hassle?

Can a natural deodorant survive a salsa class?

Will clothes swapping ever beat clothes shopping?

Two years ago, shopaholic and supermarket addict Kate Lock set herself a series of eco-challenges, from kicking her tesco habit to composting her kitchen waste.

Combining the practical with the inspirational and packed with great tips, Kate’s honest and humorous account of her triumphs and failures is not only a green guide to the weekly shop but an attempt to balance sustainable living with domestic harmony.

This book was recommended to me, It is about a Women’s journey to becoming green.  I thought It was appropriate for me. So I plan and following her journey and hopefully be able to write about some of my own whilst following hers.

Over the last few months I have to admit I have slipped back in to my old ways, this is down to being alone doing this and not having a lot of back up by family,  So I’m now back on top of things and i have to eliminate any chance of my family slipping as well.  Plastic bags are a big deal because my husband does not think twice about taking a bag out with him so i do have a mountain of them again. This does defeat a person who is trying to change.  I do need to get back to what  motivated me when I first set up this site. I have not been 100% green so I couldn’t come and write about issues and products when I wasn’t fully following what I talk about. So I bought myself a book to try and get back to the way I want to live.
