How to reduce your waste and why you must do it now

Summary

One of 'the best new books on eco-living' Sunday Times

Litter on our streets, plastics in our seas, overflowing landfill, fatbergs... Do you know where your rubbish ends up?

We are all responsible for the waste we make and we can make simple changes to live more planet-friendly lives.

Expert environmental campaigner Martin Dorey looks at what we recycle, what we bin, what we take to the tip - plastics, food, clothing, electricals and furniture - where it goes and what it really does to our planet.

Martin offers simple, impactful ways – #2minutesolutions – to cut down your waste and why they make a big difference.

You can help save the planet. It only takes 2 minutes.
