A Mediterranean Diet reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes and depression, and increases overall life expectancy. More importantly perhaps, older people can lead more productive and active lives as they tend not to be obese and are more agile. What’s not to like?
Camping is an affordable and fun holiday option, but it’s crucial to make sure we do it sustainably with minimal impact on the environment.
There’s no doubt that sometimes, when we think about how we can live more sustainably, it can all seem too hard.
When Glimmer met with Clean Up Australia’s CEO Jenny Geddes, we asked her for her top sustainability tips for reducing waste; she spoke about the big impact of small, simple steps.
In a time dominated by headlines of the escalating cost of living, soaring prices of fruit and vegetables, and the adverse impact of screen time on our children’s development, it is hard to imagine a more compelling solution than a program that immerses children in nature, empowering them to cultivate and cook their own produce.
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.
Mother Earth Day, 22nd April, is a perfect reason to connect with nature and teach our children to love the precious planet we live on. Why not try some of these fun gardening activities with your kids?
We have a waste problem. Each year, Australians generate around 76 million tonnes of waste and spend over $17 billion to deal with it. How can we—is it even possible to—eliminate our waste?
The countdown is on. Stores are decked with Christmas decorations and have been spruiking their wares since October. But now, with less than a month to go, the question everyone is asking: have you started your Christmas shopping?
It’s clear that supporting children to care for the natural world from a young age is vital if we are to build an eco-friendly future. And a huge part of children’s environmental learning, or “socialisation”, occurs through observation and role modelling.
Climate change damages nature—loss of nature exacerbates climate change. So, damaging nature to mitigate climate change is like shooting ourselves in the foot.
