Follow the jump to find out how I'm getting on in my first day!

GREEN CHALLENGE: Abi's leftover food trial

From Monday, I'll be running a new feature where I challenge myself to make a different green lifestyle challenge for a week and writing regular twitter updates on how I'm doing. If I run out of ideas, I'm more than happy to put myself in your capable hands, and see what you can suggest I do to make me more green.

Next week, I'll be trying not to leave any food, or use any leftovers the following day. Now, I admit that this will be hard for me because (a) my eyes are bigger than my stomach and (b) I've always been a bit squeamish about eating anything that isn't fresh -- I more or less want my veggies straight from the ground.
