Eco-friendly meal planner (and shopping list)
This meal planner and shopping list, is ideal if you like a list to take the grocery, especially if you run a busy household. And need to keep to a budget.
Before cooking, read up on food safety for people and pets. Bin allium scraps (onion, leeks, garlic, shallots, chives) and citrus/tomato/rhubarb scraps, as acids could harm compost creatures. It’s okay to put them in food waste bins (made into biogas).
For tinned foods, remove and pop lids inside, or pop ring-pulls back over holes (pinch top closed) before recycling, to avoid wildlife getting trapped.
Know what you’re going to buy and make for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and find a shopping list with six sections:
- Fruits and veggies
- Bakery
- Chilled and frozen
- Canned and cupboard
- Health, beauty and cleaning
- Other
The 2 planner pads have cardboard backing, and are printed with vegetable inks.
Everything at Good Tuesday is printed on recycled paper, sent in plastic-free packaging, made in the UK and beautifully designed.
Choosing recycled paper is better than FSC-certified paper, as that still requires fast-growing trees with pesticides (instead these products ‘close the loop’ and use up unwanted waste that would otherwise end up at landfill, emitting methane gas).
About Good Tuesday recycled paper goods
Good Tuesday is a lovely brand of recycled paper goods, founded by a woman who lives in Cornwall, but was raised in the Caribbean (hence all the bright colours!)
Everything is made in the UK, sent in plastic-free packaging.
After creating one pretty calendar and placing it on Etsy, it sold seven overnight, and the brand was born! Today it offers everything from wall planners to diaries, calendars to to-do lists. You are sure to find something you adore, to help you keep organised and inspired!
The business is based within a community of small businesses, not far from the Cornish coast. The old barn houses Good Tuesday, along with a sourdough bread bakery, coffee roaster, vegan cafe and wine expert, so the staff are well looked after!
