Great little food waste video

The Guardian Sue Perkins Lucy Siegal Food Waste

While scouting the internet for yesterday’s food waste pic I spotted this great video from the Guardian newspaper’s Green Team from December 2009. In it comedian and broadcaster Sue Perkins (from the wonderful “The Supersizers Go..” and many other great shows) talks to Lucy Siegle from the Guardian about some great food storage tips to reduce food waste.

I love the idea of keeping a note of what is exactly in your freezer so you can see what is still left to be eaten. And that you can freeze cream and butter and salmon! Genius!

Watch the video.

Growing is forever

Monday, January 10th, 2011 by Admin

Found this very restful yet powerful video by Jesse Rosten (via Black Eiffel) about Redwood forests of Northern California in Growing is Forever. It is a wonderfully shot video that makes you sit up and take notice – we should take notice of our trees more often! Canterbury is full of many great places to enjoy the solidity, strength and longevity of trees: Riccarton Bush, the old podocarps of Peel Forest, Hanmer Springs, Banks Peninsula (especially our favourite walk to the Sign of the Bell Bird), any of the Botanical Gardens in the Canterbury towns and any of the trees in your backyard. No doubt there are many more forested and woodland (native and exotic) places around Canterbury to enjoy.

Take a breather and watch this great video.
