I don’t think one person can or will save the world but collectively we can all do our small part to help (whilst putting pressure on those larger corporations to change their ways which WILL have a big impact).

A little while ago I wrote about 5 changes I was planning on making to be more eco-friendly; do away with clingfilm, buy a compost bin, grow our own, switch to reusable nappies and reusable sanitary towels.
