Living Clean: The Journey Continues

Product Information

Most major supermarkets provide plastic recycling collection points in store for stretchy plastic (such as frozen food bags, carrier bags and bread bags) which normally can’t be recycled from home,” says Helen Bird, plastics expert at government waste advisory body Wrap. There is no way around it, eating meat sustainably requires a little more effort on our part,” says Fergus Henderson, chef and godfather of nose-to-tail eating. His first rule is to “hug” your butcher: “Support them and ask questions – they are your way in to a positive supply chain. They will also give you access to the insides and extremities, such as kidneys, shanks, feet and glands, which offer so much more possibility and flavour than the fillet.” Whole-animal eating is not about blood and guts, but “respecting the animal enough to realise that, if it has died for you, the least you can do is make use of every part”. Bio D sells a range of cleaning solutions with ethically sourced ingredients. The company has been creating natural household products for over 25 years and values itself on vegan, cruelty free solutions, that are great value and include naturally derived products. While the bottles are made from plastic, they are 100 per cent recycled and you can also bulk buy to refill the smaller bottles. The company’s Bio-D Lavender fabric conditioner, for example, comes in a 20L easy pour container. As well as covering laundry products, you can find solutions for the bathroom, kitchen, dishwashing and handcare.

In today's world, we are all becoming more aware of the importance of environmental sustainability. We are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and live a more eco-friendly lifestyle. One area (that is sometimes overlooked) where we can make a big difference is in the way we clean our homes and businesses. Clean living lifestyle change: Learn how to use a cast-iron skillet. This is very specific, but you probably use your skillets the most for cooking. Learning how to use cast iron well will not only help with cleaning up your lifestyle, but it will also make your food taste so much better! See the link below for my tutorial on how to season, cook with, and clean cast iron skillets.Living Clean is a professional cleaning company that is committed to environmental sustainability. We use only the highest quality, environmentally friendly cleaning products. Our team of experienced and certified cleaners will leave your home or business sparkling clean and smelling fresh without resorting to bleach, ammonia, and peroxide. Similarly, while we are on the topic of controlling what’s in your food – eat out less. The more you eat out, the less control you have of what’s in your food, what your food is cooked on, or how your food is prepared. Commit to eating one less meal out per month. That’s a totally doable change – if you’re eating out once per week, start by cutting out one of those per month. Then continue to cut out as possible. I’ll tell you, once you start cooking more from scratch, you won’t even want to eat out because your food will taste so much better at home! Each of the changes below can be as easy or hard as you want! If it seems overwhelming, then taper off some of your changes and start a little slower. This should be a positive and fun experience for you and your family – not something that you dread. Presented in slim 300ml aluminium bottles, Clean Living has a wide range of cleaning products in its portfolio. The bottles are refillable and you can use the 30ml refill sachets that need to be diluted with tap water each time you want to top up. Designed to help you make a ‘conscious choice' about the chemicals you use in your home, the range was launched by two friends Helen and Gill, on a mission to ‘clean with conscience’. The range includes natural plant-based formulas that are free from harsh and toxic chemicals. Clean living lifestyle change: Choose just one thing to start cooking from scratch. Maybe it’s bread – make a sourdough starter! Maybe it’s your yogurt, or bone broth, or something else – just choose one thing. Once you have that down and it feels like second nature, choose another thing to cook from scratch.

Cons: Plastic spray heads - although they can be recycled at end of life; once diluted use within 3 weeks for best results Unlike harsh chemicals, a probiotic cleaner such as this is non-toxic and uses Bacillus bacteria. What we particularly like about this all-in-one spray is that it can be used across the home cutting through grease and dirt on worktops in the kitchen and enamel on the bathroom sink. We tried the formula to clean the windows too and were impressed at how well it cleaned the dirt and left a gleaming finish. There’s also a rather lovely air freshener in the range and a very ample 500ml refillable pouch that will last you quite a while.When I stopped chasing the next best thing and started making more of what we consume in my own home, I started saving tons of money. I had a complete mindset shift away from consumerism and toward creating for myself and my family. Honeybees visit only one type of flower in any one foraging trip, says Sarah Wyndham Lewis, author of Planting For Honeybees: The Grower’s Guide To Creating A Buzz. “This is called ‘flower fidelity’ and is what makes them such effective pollinators. So plant large clumps or ‘drifts’ of single species and optimise each of the bees’ trips.” Think swathes of catmint, field scabious and hyssop. “March to September are the key months for honeybees – they will fly whenever the temperature is above 10C, even in winter, so early- and late-flowering plants are especially valuable,” she says. Clean living lifestyle change: eat out one less time per month.

Start with something easy for you, like household cleaners, laundry supplies, or beauty products, then gradually keep swapping as you run out of your toxic products.

Marketing will make the term ‘natural flavors’ sound like a good thing! However, the term ‘natural flavors’ is just another term for chemically processed. To earn the term “natural” the flavor only has to have one tiny drop of a natural flavor and the rest of the substance can be chemically processed. For example, the flavoring could be 1 percent real strawberry but 99% chemically made. Clean living lifestyle change: this is a large investment, but if you want to make a smaller change, you could use a pitcher filter like the ProPur (I think it’s called ProOne now). This is a good filter and it’s much more affordable. If you do a side-by-side comparison of the Brita, Berkey, and ProPur filters, ProPur and Berky blow Brita out of the water (pun intended).
