| The Clean Bin Movie: Coming to the UK - 23-30 August |
Forget the big budget Hollywood blockbusters that are hitting the screens this summer. Whether you want comedy, drama or even a touch of horror - in parts - this is the film for anyone who wants to be inspired to reduce their waste.
I first came across the Clean Bin Project blog in 2008, not long after starting The Rubbish Diet. Jen Rustemeyer provided the running commentary to the challenges that she and her partner Grant Baldwin faced with entertaining accounts as they attempted a consumer free year to see who could create the least rubbish.
This was not your 'holier than thou' blogging, more a combination of escapades, frustrations and ingenuity at overcoming some of the regular hurdles that face us all.
And thankfully, they also captured it on camera, creating a very entertaining documentary, which is being screened at five venues across the UK, with a post-screening Q&A with Jen & Grant.
Launching in Brighton this Friday, the full tour list is as follows:
Fri 23rd Aug - Brighton - Brighthelm Centre. Open from 6pm. Starts 7pm.
Tue 27th Aug- Stowmarket, Suffolk - John Peel Centre for Creative Arts. Open 7pm. Starts 7:30pm
Wed 28th Aug - York - City Screen, Picturehouse. 6:15pm
Thu 29th Aug - Shrewsbury, Shropshire. The Old Post Office. 7pm.
Fri 20th Aug- Warminster, Wiltshire. Baptist Church Hall. 7pm.
Entry is either free, or with a small donation/ticket price depending on local arrangements and sponsorship. Huge thanks go to Freegle, Mid Suffolk District Council, City Screen & John Cossham, Transition Shrewsbury and Wiltshire Wildlife Trust for making these events possible.
It would be really great if you could make it to one of the screenings. If you can't and would still love to see the documentary, copies can be purchased at www.cleanbinmovie.com. There are also details of how you can host a screening for your local community.
The Clean Bin Project screenings are happening in time to whet the appetite for Zero Waste Week which follows the week after. Taking place,2-8 September, the theme this year is "Use it Up" and focuses on food waste. Please do sign up at www.zerowasteweek.co.uk. There'll be more on that from me soon.
Meanwhile, I hope that you enjoy the Clean Bin Project events, where you'll also get to meet some of the local waste-busters who are running some great projects around the country.

Nutrition Blood Group Diet
Blood group diet is based on the reaction of food we eat with our digestive system. Food items which are good for one blood group can be dangerous for others. To achieve weight loss, making choice of food according to your blood type is very important. A chemical reaction occurs between your blood and food you eat. This reaction is said to be caused by a factor called Lectins. Lectins are a type of protein found in food has agglutinating properties that can affect the blood. If the food we eat contains lectins that are incompatible with blood type antigen, the lectins target any organ or body system and begin to agglutinate in the said area. Lectins can cause different problems, especially if they are specific to particular blood type. Fortunately, most lectins are not life threatening, as 95% of it is completely absorbed and sloughed off by the body.
