Save the Planet Sunday

I am trying hard to reuse, recycle or upcycle before I throw stuff away in the tip. The idea of getting more than one use of something is appealing and it is a small but hopefully important contribution in saving the planet. So I thought I would start a Save the Planet Sunday challenge to include a post about something you did that contributed to the world being a little 'greener', however small.

Here's my little contribution for this week.

I bought some tomatoes for my weekly grocery shop.


See this net that it comes covered in. I cut it out.


Bunched it up with a rubber band


And its going to work as my non-stick pan scourer before it goes in the bin.


If you check, your non-stick pan scourers are made of similar material - in fact this is softer!!! And since a lot of fruit and veg and cased in this netting, you never need to buy another non-stick pan scourer!!
