The experience

My name is Diana and I am passionate about reducing waste. I set up a local free cycle group 8 years ago and now it's hugely successful with 27000 members. I was a finalist nominee in the green hero category with the community awards. The house has 2 bubbly kids of 9 and 3, 2 dogs, 1 cat, 30 something chickens. My partner Carl works away half of the time so it can be busy!! I collect urplus food waste and organise distribution to local families.
