Shampoo and conditioner powders are the latest innovation in the world of eco-friendly hair care. I thought I had tried every green, plastic-free, refillable, compostable, all-natural hair-washing method until I received two emails in the same week from companies now selling these washing powders. “Powders?” I thought in confusion, and promptly accepted the samples they were offering. One came from a brand new startup called Cocofomm, the other from established eco-beauty brand Meow Meow Tweet. Both arrived in paper envelopes and consisted of a light-colored granular powder. Cocofomm’s delivery came with a small shaker bottle, but as founder Liz Qiao-Westhoff explains, any leftover spice shaker will do. That piqued my interest because it’s a zero-waste product that makes use of packaging most people already have at home, and the envelope in which the powder comes is plastic-free and compostable.

Breathtaking aerial images have revealed 11 heron nests perched 100ft in the treetops of a 17th century stately home. The amazing pictures captured the scenes at the heronry at the National Trust run Belton House in Grantham, Lincs. It is the first time a drone has been used for the British Trust for Ornithology’s (BTO) annual census. The flying gizmo hovered 50ft above the treetops and 100ft above the ground in order to take detailed pictures of the heron nests. A total of 11 active nests were discovered clustered together in the branches of a Scots pine – nine more than experts expected to find.
