“I like minimising my waste to help the environment and saving money on disposable sanitary products.” ♻️

Lucy explains that reusable period products don’t just make your life a little greener (though that’s a pretty great feeling too!). They also save you money, by cutting out that repeated monthly spend on pads and tampons. 💷

If you’d like to switch to period reusables and save, our website has all the info you need to find the right product for you. 💡

Did you know that one out of every five bags of food we buy ends up going in the bin? 😱

For the average London household, that means food waste costs up to £1,000 a year.

It also has big environmental impacts, which is why you should use what you can and recycle the rest.

Nearly 13,000 nitrous oxide canisters were collected at our eight reuse and recycling centres across north London last year. ♻️

They should never be put in the bin at home or left on the street as they can explode if crushed or heated, which is why we have dedicated drop-off points. 🚯

Please dispose of them responsibly!
