One of the strongest instincts I’ve had since this all happened is to question how eco my life is right now. I like to think that I’m quite aware of doing my bit for the environment but in practice was I really doing it?
From an eco perspective, I am the worlds worst for shopping and cluttering up the flat with things I convinced myself I needed. I have good intentions for making my home more cosy or feeling better about myself with a new item of clothing but these are just quick fixes that quite often end up squeezed in some corner or at the back of am already heaving cupboard! I have given myself so many lame excuses previously about why I need 36 pairs of black trousers but this time I vow to be ruthless! The ethical thing is a little trickier! The main thing I have found difficult is that although ethical shopping is the right way to go in theory, it can be a lot more expensive and when cash is huge priority what’s a skint mum to do?
