Spring is in the air! This spring, why not get outside and do a spring clean in your local area?
Sustainable lifestyles are heavily dependent on enabling environments that are conducive to more sustainable choices. But who is responsible for creating such environments?
What if every country promoted electric cars like Norway, reforested like Costa Rica, promoted cycling like Holland, invested in renewable energy like Paraguay and ate a vegetarian diet like many people in India? Could this solve our climate crisis?
Single-use packaging is a major contributor to global plastic waste. Again Again founder, Nada Piatek, gives insight on how the reusable revolution can tackle the problem.
One-third of the Earth’s surface is in the care of Indigenous peoples and local communities. On International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples what can we learn from them about living more sustainably?
This year our planet experienced the hottest June on record, raising the inevitable question: how can the world limit further world temperature increases? Many countries have already implemented a carbon tax. Is it time for Australia to follow suit?
It made headlines around the world when the much-hyped Barbie movie contributed to a world shortage of fluorescent pink paint.
But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. When movies or TV shows become cultural phenomena, toymakers jump on board. And that comes with a surprisingly large amount of plastic waste.
The issues of plastic waste in our seas and the effects on wildlife are catalysing major public concern. Part of the problem of plastic waste is the difficulty of reusing many types of plastics as the feedstock for new products. We also need stronger incentives to reduce plastic in manufacturing and design.
This month is Plastic Free July, an opportunity for us all to consider how we might reduce our consumption of single use plastic—as individuals, families, communities, and organisations—to combat the environmental challenge of plastic pollution.
When you reach for a bioplastic product, you’re probably doing it to reduce plastic waste. But for most other uses, it’s far better to just not use plastic at all. Plastic-free July is a great time to start.
Join a community of like-minded people inspiring each other to live sustainable lives.
