Was doing some grocery shopping and came across these recycle bins specifically for Ooshies Wrappers! How cool is that?

Seems like Woolies did take into account on how to tackle the wrappers issues and is doing something about it. And having it directly in their supermarkets curates convenience as people can just throw it into these recycle bins after opening it on the spot.

Good on Woolies!

Was having lunch the other day and noticed that there are such things as bio-degradable trays!

I never knew fast-food places had bio-gradable trays & cutleries.

It’s fun to see eateries putting in the effort to lessening their carbon footprint.

The world has truly changed, it used to be all one-time usage packaging. But now, we see these brands incorporating more sustainable practices! 🥳

💩  Always picking up my dog’s poop 💩

Did you guys know that dog poop is considered as an environmental hazard ⛔️

If poop is not picked up from the sidewalks, it could kill/contaminate the soil or get washed into waterways and create a potential health hazard 😱

I did some research into the implications of dog waste and found that waste, in general, has become an immense problem worldwide.

In Australia, our best friends produce around 1.3 million tonnes of waste every year!!

But, there is a way we can help with this growing poop problem!

Some researches have found an easy, DIY method to turn dog waste into garden fertiliser!

What are your thoughts on cloth masks vs surgical masks? 😷

My job requires us to wear a mask whenever we enter the workplace to protect us from the current COVID situation.

They prefer and recommend surgical masks over cloth masks as they believe it offers better protection against bacteria and fluids. 🤐

However, these single-use masks got me thinking about the environmental implications it's leaving behind...

I did some research and found that single-use masks are made out of long-lasting plastic and will cause environmental damage lasting several generations.

It made me really uncomfortable to know that I'm personally creating so much plastic waste. So, starting next week, I'm thinking about switching to cloth masks instead.

But, when it comes down to your health or the environment, which one would you choose?

I saw this old tech and stationery recycling station at Officeworks today!

This made me think about all the e-waste we produce every year.

Last year alone, Australia generated 700,000 tonnes of e-waste. With each family generating an average of 73kg of e-waste in one year.

What do you guys do with your old phone, laptop, TV and other old electronics? Are you the type that always needs the newest and best model of the product? 🎮 📱 🖥 🖨 📷 🎥 🕹 💾

Did you know that on average 40% of the household waste is food! Up to $8 billion of edible food is thrown away every year in Australia.

The biggest food waste I produce are definitely herbs. Every time I go to the markets to purchase herbs they always come in a huge bunch and I only use a tiny bit for the dish I’m cooking. The rest is then thrown away or eventually goes off in my fridge.

To combat this my family started to plant herbs in our little herb garden. They’re so easy to plant and don’t need much maintenance!

What other methods do you guys do to limit your household’s food waste? ☘️🌱🥬
