The Rubbish Diet was launched into the public eye in March 2008, with a daily column on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour, featuring simple hints and tips to inspire people to reduce or eliminate their household waste. Although focusing on waste, The Rubbish Diet is not just about environmental awareness and recycling, but is a lifestyle programme that addresses habits of everyday modern living and how these can be changed, with personal results that go beyond slimmer bins. It's a subject that touches households regardless of age, income or ethnicity.
The website is regularly updated with blogs which discuss various aspects of the waste, recycling and environmental world, the topics are wide ranging and recently Recycling Lives has its own dedicated blog featured on the website. Author, Karen Cannard has written passionately about the charity and the work it carries out. It is great to see genuine enthusiasm towards the concept of Recycling Lives and for people to appreciate the inspirational nature of what the charity is trying to achieve. Moving forwards Recycling Lives will feature regularly on The Rubbish Diet so please visit regularly and read about how we are evolving as a charity and indeed pick up tips on how you too can slim your bin to a waste size zero.
