Down-to-earth recipes for a resourceful, toxin-free and low-waste life. Home: DIY Recipes for a Toxin-Free, Low-Waste Life is a compendium of eco-friendly tips, tricks and recipes for the home – including natural cleaning and body care products, as well as delicious plant-based food alternatives. An updated edition of this bestselling title, this book is a modern reference for anyone who wants to ditch their joyless supermarket habit, reduce plastic waste and save money ... and the world. With more than 60 recipes, chapters include: home; kitchen, bathroom; laundry; home; tools and rituals; and body, Home taps into people’s ever-growing awareness of the consequences their buying choices have on the environment – and the fact that sometimes small steps and buying decisions can help drive significant change. Every room of the house is considered in this book (stain remover in the laundry, shower cleaner in the bathroom, dishwashing liquid in the kitchen) and presents alternatives to store-bought cleaning products, as well as a comprehensive chapter on body care (from toothpaste to shampoo to foaming hand wash). Readers will also be treated to a handful of recipes for Harriet's favourite money-saving kitchen staples including oaty seed loaf, coconut yoghurt and pickled veg.
