War on Waste

War? Waste? What?! Okay, let me explain. While we've become great life loving beings, we've forgetten that we’re actually very dangerous, lazy and selfish beings! How do I hear you ask?  Well, there’s no denying that we are an extremely toxic, dangerous, ungrateful and a very wasteful nation. Do I hear you ask how again? Well, waste comes in many forms, shapes and sizes today and the amount of wastage we’re producing as consumers is quite simply shocking! Past generations lived to care and look after our planet, we've come along and we're simply destroying it.  Shocking, I know! It’s as simple as that.  Now, this WAR on waste is means we need to get our guns out and start blazing the wasters! All these consumerism is destroying our planet! (Okay okay! Maybe no guns, but something needs to be done!)

Waste comes in so many different forms. What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘waste’? I imagine for most of us, like me, it’s FOOD, but waste goes further than food and goes beyond the obvious. Ever thought that we consume too  much water by running a hot bath everyday? OR during a summer water fight? What about buying gift wrap for presents thats only going to be torn apart and thrown out?
Going back to food, the word ‘waste’ brings back all those old memories growing up as a child. Do you remember the amount of times your mother nagged at you when it came to eating times? “Finish all your vegetables, finish all your greens!” Ah! “Don’t leave anything on your plate, waste is bad.”  When you were younger, you never understood such comments but the nagging always worked.

Okay, so, lets see what I discover over the next couple of weeks! All these big ugly rubbish bins across London that i'm seeing everywhere, must mean something. We must be wasting alot!
