Rosalyn - "I've started taking my bottles to fill up in a shop called Bare + Fair. I have been buying washing detergent and dishwasher tablets from @smolrevolution for a long time now. So I don’t have too many bottles to refill!"
@smolrevolution Gill - "Bamboo toothbrushes, reusable nappies, washable wipes, search out second hand wooden toys for children and THINK before you buy when out shopping."
Gill recommends the Humble Co Bamboo Brush.

@smolrevolution Helen - "I do love to wear synthetic fabrics but know how bad they are in terms of the microplastics they shed and impact of production in the first place - so I don't ever buy new clothes and choose to extend the life of existing garments by buying #preloved."
Cornelia – “I have been making mesh scrubbies for the kitchen from the plastic nets that some fruit & veg comes in - rolled up together they are as good as bought ones." #fiveaday
