Joining Ella and Tim Grimwade and their six children as they set themselves a challenge to go green with the help of 5 "R" words: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle.
The Grimwades want to go green but it's not easy. After a shopping trip they wonder why there is so much packaging.
The family starts to think about the amount of water they use and when the light isn't switched off, how much electricity they use too?
When the youngest family member starts sitting up it's time to think about moving baby Houston to a cot. But the old one is dirty and worn.
The family discover how to reuse clothes.
The Grimwades are looking at the rubbish they produce. There's plenty of it. Daddy explains sending it to landfill is not a good idea.
On a walk to the shops the Grimwade Family encounter too much traffic. Daddy thinks it is not a good idea to go out today. But everyone else wants to go to the park.
As the Grimwade boys sort through the laundry a pile of odd socks emerges. Perhaps choosing one of the 5Rs can help them put their best foot forward as they decide to repair socks.
The Grimwades love art but today a shortage of paper brings the activity to a stop. Luckily the tree that Dad is planting in the garden gives them an idea.
Turtles are suffering because of plastic in the ocean. The Grimwade Family learn that any litter dropped has the chance of reaching the sea, so they decide to reduce litter.
The Grimwade Family are going green so it's frustrating to find so many plastic bottles in the kitchen.
