I decided to start this blog for a number of reasons. Having worked as a chef in a variety of different places around the world I have seen first hand the amount of food waste that is created and the lack of recycling and awareness of reducing, not only in relation to packaging and disposables but overproduction of food for fear of customers having to wait for their food to be cooked fresh. No longer feeling like I could be a part of this wasteful industry, in 2015 I changed career and starting working within the charity sector whilst volunteering at a number of environmental events. Which brings me back to this blog. I have always been interested in learning about ways to change my life for the better, reading articles on the current state of the environment and watching documentaries but in the past few months I have learned so many new things and discovered so many organisations and charities involved in making the world a better place. And so this blog will include a variety of topics: Sharing ideas that I have implemented in my life in order to become more eco-friendly focusing on a reduction in plastic and unnecessary waste. I will also write reviews about the amazing organisations and charities I have discovered. I will provide some recipe ideas for using up leftovers. Reviews on the environemtnally friendly products that I use. I will document the volunteer events that I attend. The occasioanl book review (I am a book-worm). My aim goal of this blog is for firstly for myself, to improve my writing ability and to have a reference for myself to look back on. Secondly I hope to provide some information and advice for anyone who is searching for more information on how to change their life with small steps.
