Update Starter kits for plastic free and zero waste living + Podcast interview + Giveaway

Way back in March I announced my intentions to put together and sell Starter kits for plastic free and zero waste living. They are almost ready to sell.

Originally the plan was to have them ready to sell before Plastic Free July.

But....life had other plans for me as I made the decision to go overseas to visit with family. It has been a loooong time since I have enjoyed a visit to the US in the summer. My last couple of trips have been over the winter holidays. I am excited to give the Builder a taste of the South and meet my family. If anyone knows of some great bulk food stores in Little Rock please let me know. 

The kits will now be available the end of July and I will be sharing a blog post about them then. They will only be for Australian and New Zealanders. The reason for this? It will be easier to post out plastic free if I keep it local.

I have put together a list of similar items and places to buy them if you want to put together your own kits that I will share next week.

Last week I was featured on The Greening of Gavin podcast. It is my first podcast and needless to say I was nervous. You can listen to it below:

Gavin's blog has been a staple as I have wandered along my own eco journey. He is less than an hour away so it is particularly handy to have a someone blog about gardening in the same climate as me. And when the time comes to make my own cheese I will be following his recipes. His blog is a portal of very helpful information for sustainable living. Big fan here!
