New Year clean-up
With all the Christmas gifting we all start January with a home so full of toys that they spill out of every drawer and cupboard. A year-start declutter is due!
Keep the warmth at home
Winter is long, dark and cold and having a warm home is a blessing. However, homes in the UK mostly use gas boilers that release lots of polluting gases (around 11% of a household’s emissions). This, together with the rising cost of energy, makes keeping the warmth in really important to both planet and pocket.

Scything at St Mary’s school
Volunteers scythed the last of the wildflower meadow at St Mary’s School. On Saturday 25 November Wild Amersham and Amersham Band volunteers scythed the last of the wildflowers so that the meadow won’t get too many nutrients (which wildflowers don’t like) and raked up the ‘arisings’ into a compost heap for hedgehogs, slow worms and other […]

Leftover pie creations
With so much food to buy for Christmas it is impossible not to have quite a bit of leftovers. Yet about a third of all food gets wasted causing a lot of polluting gases.
Try making a family game out of reusing things you have left from Christmas Day. Gather all left overs (turkey, chicken, sauces, stuffing, veggies, fruit) and let the kids run riot and make up their own pies. Bake them and enjoy!
