25.01.2022 This cloth nappy contains the absorbent and waterproof layers in one combined nappy. It has the convenience of a disposable nappy and is super easy to put on. This video series is part of the Cloth Nappy Project which is funded by a grant from the Waste Authority of Western Australia. To see all the different cloth nappy types, check out our YouTube playlist. https://www.youtube.com/playlist

25.01.2022 We have a redundant photocopier that still works well and we would love for someone to put it to good use. It’s located at our Perth Office at Murdoch University and will require some muscles to move it. #greenskillswa #freetoagoodhome #buynothingnew #community

24.01.2022 How many containers do you have at home? Did you know that you can drop off your cans, water bottles, soft drink bottles and more and get 10c per eligible item? We are open again tomorrow at 93 Stead Rd, Centennial Park (Albany) from 12noon - 2pm (perfect spot for a Sunday drive and to earn some pocket money). ... Why not come on in and see how many you have?

24.01.2022 Spring has sprung and it’s beautiful weather to be in the garden. We planted a Coastal Rosemary (Westringia fruticosa) which is indigenous to the area of Murdoch where our Perth Office is located. Indigenous plants help support the local biodiversity providing habitat to native fauna. This Coastal Rosemary was grown at Plantrite - Wholesale Native Nursery which is where our Ecojobs team source plants.... We prepared the soil with some compost, cut a cross in the free hessian sack from Leaf Bean Machine to plant into the soil and mulched over the top. Our tip is to soak the hessian sacks before you put them down. Do you know which plants are indigenous to your area and do you have them growing in your yard? We would love you to post photos in the comments. #greenskillswa #ecojobs #sustainability #indigenousplants #biodiversity
