I recently started noticing that there appears to be very sharp smells coming out of plastic bags when opening new clothes bags. At first I did not take notice, then mentioned it to my fiance and daughter, who just put it down to my hypersensitive nose.

The new buzz word: pro-biotics … is not quite so new. It goes back over 100 years ago. The Russian born bacteriologist and 1908 Nobel Laureate, Ilya Mechnikov, stated:

With the days getting lighter and brighter we’ll all be reaching for the sunscreen bottles soon. BUT do you wonder (or worry) about what actually is in that little bottle?

The Book of Rubbish Ideas is anything but. It is FULL of excellent tips to help eco-newbies and hard-core Greens see rubbish as a resource, cut down on waste, and save time, money and resources as a result.
Don’t be put off by the quirky cover; author, Tracey Smith, a contented downshifter, aims to take the freaky out of eco, and her book is accessible, practical and positive. There’s no holier-than-thou attitude to reusable nappies, washable sanpro and chicken-keeping; we are …
