Adopting an eco-friendly attitude shouldn’t only have to kick in once we become responsible (ahem!) adults; the sooner your child can copy your good planet-saving habits the better. If we are to make a difference in our lifestyles, it’s better to do it together, so Greenliving gives you some top tips in making your child’s first steps green ones.

Love Nature
es Use Eco Nappies These award winning Bambinex bamboo nappies are absolutely superb, they are high in the rise, great for boys and tummy sleepers, they have longer wings and cross over tabs to fit the chunky monkey and the skinny minny alike. Being bamboo these nappies are super thirsty, antibacterial and having won so many awards in quick succession are becoming a great reliable brand.
Help your child plant a flower, tree or some seeds. When they see or taste the final product they will get a real sense of satisfaction. Being involved in the physical process will help them to understand. Nature is there to be explored. Spend some quality time together and use the opportunity to point out and discuss the plants and animals you find along the way. If you show your child how much you care for nature and the reasons why, they will soon pick up on its importance and associate it as quality time with you.

Recycling Fun
Turn recycling into a game rather than a chore. Let them make labels and draw pictures of what can be recycled, stick them on the bins and give them a little reward every time they recycle correctly. Show your little one that when they have finished with their fruit or vegetable, there are parts that can be composted. The sooner they see that food waste is not just worthy for the bin but can indeed be turned into soil to grow more food, the sooner you can help them understand the process food goes through before it reaches their tummies!

Best Foot Forward
Not only is walking a fantastic time to catch up with each other, it also reduces nasty emissions. If you fancy a country walk, a trip to the park, a picnic or even an adventurous hike, then get those boots on and take a stroll.

Water Conscious
When teaching your children dental hygiene, remind them to turn the tap off when they are bushing their teeth. At the same time, show them they only need to keep the water flow to a pencil thin stream when using the tap.

Noa
As foodies everywhere seek out a healthy treat that won’t break any New Year’s resolutions, this month flavour finds a solution, Clifton’s Noa restaurant...
Love their food as we do, there’s nothing quite like bringing the French gastronomic ego down a peg or two; which is why I love to imagine the sea of incredulous Gallic grunts when Tokyo finally pipped Paris to the post as the city with the world’s most Michelin stars. I was intrigued to hear an insider’s perspective on this relatively recent phenomenon, and so in the name of investigative journalism (and a hankering for tempura) called into Clifton restaurant Noa. According to head chef Nobu Kawagoe, the reason for Tokyo’s success needn’t be overcomplicated: “We like to take great care of our food.” Having earned his spurs at his namesake Nobu in Mayfair, one of the world’s most famous Japanese restaurants, it’s probably fair to assume that this observation comes from first-hand experience of working with the best. If Nobu is the jewel in Noa’s crown, his modesty certainly belies his credentials, and he’s keen to keep the focus of our conversation on his food. “At Nobu we cooked a lot of modern Japanese cuisine which I loved, but when it came to creating

the menu at Noa I wanted to teach people about the more traditional dishes as well. We’re very lucky in Japan to have easy access to a huge range of ingredients, so I think the flavours in our dishes speak for themselves.”
Nothing could be truer. Being somewhat of an amateur when it comes to Japanese food, I had to be guided by recommendations. A starter of tuna harumaki with spicy mayo (£6.75) was an excellent opening gambit; a crisp outer layer enveloping unquestionably fresh tuna, seaweed, spring onion and ginger – this is not to be missed! Next up the grilled red fish with hot Jalapeño dressing (£9.20) was cooked to perfection and a surprisingly good match in both colour and flavour to the noticeable kick of the light green sauce. The dish was perhaps lacking a little in volume, but some crunchy green beans with dangerously moreish black sesame sauce (£3.20) proved to be ample compensation. The chef’s recommendation of beef takaki – strips of seared mature sirloin with onion Ponzu sauce (£8.50) has been earmarked for a return visit.
Finally, a bowl of green tea ice cream (£4.00) carried a slightly bitter taste that wouldn’t agree with every palate, but the depth of flavour couldn’t be disputed. I still have a lot to learn about such a light and delicate cuisine where countless different flavours come into play, but after this initiation, I’m going to relish the challenge. Hidden up a small side street, you’d be unlikely to visit Noa unless you knew about it. Now you do.
