23.01.2022 Whether you eat animals or not, animal agriculture is important for restoring environmental and soil health. The soil on the left is the result of regenerative... agricultural practises being implemented. Sheep and cattle were carefully managed and rotated on the land. They ate the grass, deposited their urine and dung and were then moved away to let the grass grow back quickly. The cycle is then repeated at a later date depending on season variability and vegetation recovery. This allows the pulling of carbon into the soil. It is darker because carbon from the atmosphere is now in the soil making it more nutrient rich and dense. The soil on the right is from a commercial farm that grows grain and uses no animals on the land. The soil with more carbon holds a lot more water (roughly 150,000 liters of water per hectare for every 1% of carbon that’s added) and is full of microbes. Animals therefore play a crucial role in regenerating the land and getting carbon into the soil when properly managed. These ‘regenerative’ practises also can be applied to crop management.

18.01.2022 We encourage everyone to take #oneecostep - which was been the motto of The Eco Expo since its creation years ago. Take yours at the Eco Living Festival - Christmas Market on THIS weekend at Brisbane Showgrounds! ‘To the person who uses metal straws to save fish but consumes animals, I’d like to say thank you. To the vegan who isn’t aware of our homelessness problem, thank you. To the climate change activists who aren’t attentive to fast fashion, thank you. To the girl who gi...ves her old clothes to the disadvantaged but isn’t educated on sex trafficking, thank you. To the guy who picks up rubbish on his way home from a surf but isn’t well-informed about male suicide rates, thank you. To the people who stand up for horse racing concerns but are uninformed of the cruelty of the dairy industry, thank you. To the positive Instagram influencer who hasn’t cultivated a plastic-free lifestyle, thank you. To the grandparents who knit for sick children but aren’t up to date with current race and homophobic issues, thank you. To the students that stand up for bullying but are unaware of the constant domestic violence epidemic, thank you. To the peace activists, feminists, stray dog adopters, teachers, volunteers, foster carers, recyclers, givers, doers and believers, I say thank you. We are all on a different path and we all see through different eyes. Current world issues that you are passionate about, aren’t always what other people are trying to change and that’s okay. It’s not everyone’s job to save every part of the world but it is everyone’s responsibility to thank every person who is doing THEIR part to save the world. Don’t critique, just appreciate. Don’t judge, just educate. We’re all trying our best. Thank you.’ Carla Jane. Inspired by Peta Kelly's book "Earth Is Hiring" and shares from The Environmental Cowboy

17.01.2022 Have you tried any of these eco products? What did you think?

17.01.2022 Did you know that you can recycle bread tags? Transmutation Pty Ltd are a comany that collect bread tags throughout Australia, which are then melted down to create some amazing creations - like the bowls and boards pictured! Not only are you repurposing these plastic bread tags that would have otherwise ended up in Australian landfill ... but additioanlly the money that is collected from selling these bread tags is donated to the organisation Aussie Bread Tags for Wheelchairs.... This organisation funds wheelchairs for disadvatnaged people in South Africa. There are many collection points around the country, including in all Biome Eco Stores. So get collecting to contribue to this worthy cause, and promote recycling and reusing :) Photo Credit: Biome Eco Stores

17.01.2022 Local markets are a great way to ethically stock up on your supplies for the week! By shopping at a local farmers market, you are acting sustainablly by supporting local Australian businesses. In addition to this, purchasing fresh fruits and veggies from a farmers market ensures that you are receiving an organic, quality product, as well as often reducing on the plastic packaging that is commonly used in mainstream supermarkets....

15.01.2022 Gave a bit of eco cheek in my @sydneymorningherald interview today when they asked what my best recommendation would be to eco newbs trying to reduce their wast...e during the pandemic: GO TOPLESS on your coffee & skip the plastic lid. . By now we all know the cardboard cups are lined with plastic and not getting recycling, so the ultimate move is to byo cup, make one at home, or simply go without. But this is my playful memorable recruitment game, yall. Enjoy the fun of telling people at the cafe youre going topless. . #toplessforthesea #sydneymorningherald #smh #topless #plasticfree @instagram please help me get into my @toplessforthesea account
