Last week we talked about bread being one of the most wasted items in households.

Some ideas to re-purpose and save the bread include:

• Make some breadcrumbs by whizzing up the older bread/crusts in a food processor. These can be placed in containers and frozen
• Make some croutons. These are particularly successful if you use older/stale thickly sliced sourdough bread. Cut or tear the bread into bite sized pieces. Place them on a baking tray and spray with olive oil. If you would like to add more flavour, season with salt, chilli flakes or dried or fresh herbs from your garden. The crouton will stay fresh for several days in an airtight container. Croutons are great in a soup or salads.

Earlier this week, the 1 million women website produced a list of Environmental movies and series you can watch if you are in lockdown. The list includes:

• Tiny House Nation series (available on Netflix)
• 2040 (go to the website to buy or rent)
• Biggest little Farm. This featured at the Sydney Film festival last year. (Go to the website to buy or rent)
• A Plastic Ocean (available on Netflix)
• Anything and Everything by David Attenborough. It is worth revisiting any of his amazing programs
