What's in the mag? Oct-Nov 2015

Pick up a copy of Green Ideas issue 18 (Oct-Nov 2015) to read about:

• How a Kiwi couple built an elegant cottage for only $14,000.
• Meet the travellers who cycled 15,000km with their newborn baby.
• We get to the bottom of what those recycling numbers mean on plastics (and reveal the results of our year-long experiment on compostable coffee lids – do they really break down?).
• We talk to young New Zealanders reinventing banking with interest-free lending groups.
• We look at the new breed of eco cars and find out how long it takes you to break even on the extra cost.
• You can eat that? We find some lesser-known edible flowers to brighten up summer dishes.
• Plus three clever home decoration ideas using old books, and we show you an easy way to turn an old painting into a stylish piece of art.
