We have been trying to get the families at work to recycle for a very long time. It's a real losing battle not only with the families but with the staff as well.I really thought I was good at not buying too much plastic. But We started making Eco bricks in work last week

 So I brought a bottle home went through the bin and got out all the plastic that's not recyclable


OMG one days worth

That's appalling I actually got the correct weight for the bottle in three days

I am really looking at everything i'm buying now.  It's the cat food I have a problem with they will only eat Flakes and that comes in sachets. I have managed to fill two bottles in a week. Ideally I would like to fill one bottle a month. We are going to use them at work to make raised beds and grow fruit and vegetables with the children.

I needed a new lamp shade as the the one I did a few years ago was looking a little tatty. So I took two napkins a little glue and Tad-dah 

Then I had to nip out and look what I found on the road. It even has it's original Bakelite handles. I have just given it it's first coat of Farrow and Balls Dimity.
