My year-long Year 52 challenge of buying nothing new is now at an end, so join me for this last episode of my podcast to hear how it all went and what my takeaways are...

In this episode, I’m celebrating making it through som months of my challenge.  And to mark the occasion, I’m treating myself to a shopping spree… and we’re on  the hunt for a bargain!

In this episode, I get to sit down virtually and catch up with my brother, Paul - the co-architect of the original Go-Green pledges that have inspired me to make my own pledge this year, and chat with him about buying stuff, the original go green pledge and also see how he got on with his own un-bee-lieveable pledge ...

In this epic extended episode, I catch up with some of our lovely neighbours to hear about their Go-Green pledges they made for me, and how they got on...

There was beer, wine, laughs and some very lively discussion on everything from water butts to poop bags, litter picks and beach cleans to dedicating solar panels.  And even something about sustainability on Love Island??!!

In this episode I'm giving a shout out to The Big Plastic Count which is starting tomorrow 16th May here in there UK.

Hear why I'm asking everyone to get involved, then head over to their website, sign up and start tallying your plastics!
