The 29th of September is International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste
We’ve all done it. That last bit of lasagna in the fridge, the banana that has gone a tad too soft – instead of finding a way to use it, we toss it in the bin. And did you know, in wealthy countries like the UK, around 40% of purchased food ends up being discarded?

Happy World Refill Day!
Today, June 16th, is World Refill Day, where we celebrate all things refillable and reusable. From your favourite metal water bottle, to all the glass jam jars you’ve been saving under the sink, reusing and refilling is a great way to decrease your waste and save the environment!
