Today I’m talking to Charis Williams, AKA Salvage Sister, and she gets creative and makes stuff out of old metal and wood and teaches people how to do the same

Over 60% of our landfill waste comes from construction, demolition and excavation - so what Charis does is mega important for all this waste we produce. And there’s loads of material to choose from, you just need the energy to do it - and she does.

Me and my sister in law did one of her workshops where we used some hard core power tools, so we chat about all that fun stuff - she has some great advice on what to do with what.

Charis also shares more personal stories about her recent battle with thyroid cancer and the rubbish careers advice she was given, which squished her dreams and confidence. But not anymore!

It’s a big energetic and positive chat and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You can follow Charis @therealsalvagesister on Instagram and book a workshop online https://www.salvagesister.co.uk

If you feel like you can’t make a difference to climate change, you’re wrong! We all can no matter how small, so tell your friends and inspire little changes.
