23.01.2022 When we start thinking of everyday objects as part of our lives, that can reflect beauty, culture and meaning, we can multiply our experience of wonder. Even the humble bin can make you stop and look twice (and many times again)!

14.01.2022 It's World Environment Day, a great day to reflect on the impact we are having on the planet. This year's theme is "Time for Nature". It’s time to wake up. To take notice. To raise our voices. It’s time to live in accordance with nature for the good of people and planet. At WasteAid Australia we work with Aboriginal communities to design waste solutions and assist in cleaning up historic waste problems. This photo is from our clean up in Cabarita in late 2019.

04.01.2022 Meet the "Cabarita Waste Audit Crew" this incredible team worked together to complete an audit of the Cabarita community's bins the other week. The audit helps us to understand how we can help the Cabarita community to better understand their waste. Our next step will be to work with the community to develop solutions that work for them.
