You probably find yourself starting the day with a cup of coffee — either at home or on the way to work — and enjoying another to fight the afternoon slump. What many don’t realise is the amount of waste this generates, particularly for fans of takeaway coffee.

Going outside is, unfortunately, not as common as it used to be thanks to indoor entertainment biases like movies and video games that kids simply can’t get enough of. So to help you and your family out, we’ve put together a list of green outdoor activities for you and your family this summer.
