Get your New Year off to an environmentally-friendly start with some easy-to-keep resolutions inspired by the NFWI:
Spent too much over Christmas? Save pennies, and the planet with this little booklet full of 'Simple Solutions' for making your own beauty products and cleaners using simple ingredients that are probably already in your home. Produced as part of the 'Chemicals and Health Campaign', 'Simple Solutions' is packed full of tips from WI members on how to leave your skin glowing and your home sparkling! To order a copy, please call the Public Affairs Department on 020 7371 9300.
Over-packaging of food was the focus of a day of direct action by WI members across the country in 2006. Do your bit to stop the pollution caused by the 167 plastic bags you use each year by purchasing a long-lasting jute shopper from the NFWI website. Larger, stronger and longer-lasting than your average carrier- it's even compostable at the end of its very long life! The WI Jute Shopper measures W47cm x H32cm x B18cm and costs £7.50 (incl p&p). Buy yours today from the NFWI website. For day-to-day use why not keep a smaller cotton one in your handbag? These are available for £3 (incl p&p) again from the same source.
