LET’S TALK LENTILS

We’re tweaking our core hours slightly for the summer as it’s typically a quieter time for us. Read on to find our temporary opening hours…

We recently helped to pull together a couple of meal kits for a local project that had an emphasis on helping people to think about the carbon footprint of their food. Simple to make and a direct replacement for meat based dishes using local fresh produce.

In the latter part of 2021, we participated in a Community Assembly on Climate Change, which saw everyday people from around Manchester come together and develop a mandate that was delivered to Manchester City Council and world-leaders at COP26.

To celebrate Veganuary we’re pulling together four of our favourite dishes that we often cook at home using ingredients that we predominantly buy from the shop. All of these recipes can be made zero, we suggest a local greengrocer for plastic-free vegetables.

The climate crisis can have a negative effect on our psychology. How can we change this, how do we transform this worry into positivity and stimulate action??

Lentils and Lather will be open over the Christmas period to supply plastic free and sustainable shopping to the people of Manchester, including Withington and Didsbury, however, we’ll be operating reduced hours.

Earlier in the year, we wrote a blog for Recycle for Greater Manchester, an organisation that helps residents of Greater Manchester’s boroughs to better understand the need for proper recycling and inspire them to do it correctly. This is what we had to say.

We’re collaborating with Chorlton Bike Deliveries to offer people in the Chorlton and surrounding areas the opportunity to try sustainable shopping.

Since starting up we’ve been searching for a liquid soap supplier that takes back the plastic containers to be cleaned and reused. Miniml are relatively new on the scene and offer exactly the kind of service offering we’ve been looking for. Read all about the switch in our latest blog.

This is the second part of our blog on how to live a sustainable life in 2020. We share a range of ideas, including how to travel, ways to manage your plastic waste and how to engage with an enthusiastic community of likeminded individuals.
