I’ve just come across the most inspiring man in a very uninspiring place. We’re currently motor homing around Europe, and he was running the strangest pitch we’ve had so far – at a stadium car park in the city of Freidburg, Germany. This type of pitch is purely utilitarian, for a one-night stopover as opposed…
Getting an electric vehicle is a lot closer to grasp than many people realise right now! Lots of old misinformation circulating about batteries decreasing in performance, poor range, difficulty charging… You may be pleasantly surprised if you scratch the surface and look into it more deeply. Our old EV We first had a Nissan Leaf…
This great green pause has offered an opportunity to really reevaluate so many areas of our lives as individuals, communities, countries and the world as a whole. It’s very easy to talk about the negative of this lockdown period but there is a tonne of benefits too! Here is a quick shout to just some…
A few years ago my friend started a small facebook page to share our “minsing” journey. I had recently watched a netflix documentary Becoming Minimalist and so the timing was right! Every day we would rehome, pass on something from our houses, take a wee picture and tell a story between us, before saying goodbye…
LESS IS ALWAYS MORE! In green speak. If we can get into the midset of reducing the amount of product we need we can make massive savings for the environment.

So I’m pretty damn environmentally minded. It’s on my mind 24/7. But where do I actually put my energy for the greatest good?! I try and make all the right lifestlye choices for me and my family but implementing all of the changes isn’t very easy to do instantly – its more of a transition…
Spotted recently in Glasgow – The Swap Market A friend visiting Glasgow happened to spot this fantastic hub in the southside. Members earn points for items they bring, or skills they share. These points can be used to trade for items or skills from others. Reuse of things, opting out of buying new all the…
We recently made a post about sharing green items between us, not realising we were just late to the Olio party – they are doing this brilliantly already! OLIO connects neighbours with each other and volunteers with businesses so surplus food and other items can be shared, not thrown away. If you love food, hate…
Little Green Ways has always tried to keep positive and proactive, but keeping up the vibe can feel difficult when the news gets you down. As well as being an ecobrick maker, trainer and advocate, I obviously write this blog. On top of that I have a young family and juggle full time working hours…
