More Plants Less Waste
Max La Manna
Nearly two years ago, vegan chef Max
La Manna set himself the goal of being
zero waste in his kitchen. He believes
that even small changes, such asreducing the amount of food that we
throw away at home, can have a huge
impact on the health of our planet.
And on reading his book, it really does
feel easy to avoid even the smallest
amount of food waste. Yellow Kite, £Green cuisine
When the time comes to update our
kitchens, we’re often so excited about
new cabinets and worktops that we forget
where the old ones will go – usually to
landfill. Enter The Used Kitchen Company.
Founder Looeeze Grossman felt that
we could make the process of kitchen
refurbishment much more environmentally
friendly by passing our old kitchens on
to be reused or recycled. The company
provide free valuation, as well as a
marketplace where others can peruse and
purchase your former units, saving them
from going to waste and helping you make
some money towards your next purchase.
They also offer ex-display kitchens, as well
as second-hand furniture and tips on
keeping your new kitchen tip-top for longer.

Snag ’em!
Come autumn, we like to keep our
pins toasty, and now we can say good
riddance to wrestling with ill-fitting
tights thanks to Brie Read, founder of
Snag tights. Frustrated that tights are
often sold as a ‘one type fits all’, she
developed a brand offering sizes 4-28+,
with fit varying in height, width and
body shape, allowing everyone to find
their perfect pair “regardless of size,
shape, age or gender”. Snagtights.com
