    Food for thought

    Sep 17, 2020 5 minutes

    Following on from her book Less Stuff, Lindsay Miles tackles food and packaging waste in her newest read, The Less Waste, No. Her pragmatic approach is encouraging, as she acknowledges that not many of us will be able to grow all our own produce and be able to fit a year’s packaging waste into a Mason jar. Lindsay offers suggestions depending on “fuss level”, from prioritising recyclable packaging as an easy option to buying all your groceries unpackaged for those who really want to commit. As well as offering practical tips, such as setting up a composting system and looking for packaging alternatives, the book includes recipes and cooking tips. It also delves into some of the issues at hand when it comes to making “climate-friendly food choices”, which is food for thought.
