Can you cut 1 Tonne of carbon pollution out of your life?
Take the challengeOn Christmas day in Australia, when it's pushing 35 degrees, it’s understandable that the last thing anyone feels like eating is a traditional steamed Chrissy pud with warmed custard.
You know what I say? Bugger tradition. We're all about pushing the status quo here at 1 Million Women, and this roasted pineapple salad is a fantastic alternative to your usual Christmas dessert. It's a beautiful way to showcase fresh, local produce and is completely plant based!
Make sure you keep the tops of your pineapples, because you can grow a whole new pineapple from it! They're well suited to pots, so even if you live in apartment you can try this method.
