Good Tuesday’s Eco-Friendly Recipe Journals

Good Tuesday recipe journals (also sold on Etsy) are ideal for stacking favourite recipes from magazines. Not only are they beautifully designed in Cornwall, but all are made with recycled paper, have lots of inner features (like cooking conversions and ‘build your own index’ pages, but are sent in plastic-free packaging.

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.

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).
