One of my local hairdressers used to refill shampoo. Hopefully they will continue when they reopen.

We were making eco bricks for a while, but have stopped. I think as schoolwork winds down, we'll start again. Planning to use them to make little garden drinks tables. I've washed so much plastic, it fills a large kitchen cupboard so we need to get stuffing again! At work tho, plastic consumption has increased from around none to loads because of all the disposable PPE we now have to use |
