18.01.2022 Great reminder from Plastic Free July: The festive season has begun and many people are organising celebrations, both big and small. If you're asked to contribute some food, consider taking it along in a reusable container rather than a bowl covered in plastic. (This will also be helpful if there are any leftovers as you can easily put the lid back on and take it home with you). If you don't have a container that is suitable, you may be able to use a beeswax wrap or even a clean tea towel to cover the top of your dish. You can turn your next event into a plastic waste-free one with a bit of planning and creativity. You may need a team of people who can help you out. It’s usually easier that way, plus you can share ideas and challenges and celebrate wins together.

14.01.2022 Some tips from Face Your Waste: Who knows what those vents are for on your fridge’s crisper drawers? These drawers are actually an important tool in reducing food waste if you know how to use them! Here are a few handy tips: A good idea is to have one drawer high humidity (closed vent), and one drawer low humidity (open vent). As a general rule, use the high humidity drawer for items that wilt like leafy vegetables or asparagus.... Almost all fruits, and vegetables that rot, are usually best in the low humidity drawer. They work well when about 2/3 full so don’t overfill. If you want to know more about separating your fruit and veg and the impact of ethylene gas (produced by ripening fruit and veg), take a look at this great article See more

09.01.2022 We have been lucky enough to secure $10 tickets for the upcoming performance of Plastica Fantastica on the 15th JANUARY only, with 2 venues in Perth as part of Fringe Festival. The show is a ridiculous solo comedy show about a woman who loves plastic more than her mum and future husband combined. She lives a life of plastic-wrapped bananas, triple bagged groceries and her ultimate dream is to become a top of the line Tupperware lady. But her life falls apart when she finds ou...t she is allergic. It is a parody of society's reliance on single-use plastics and aims to leave audiences inspired to rethink how they can waste less in their own lives.

The idea is that you use a clean 'tissue' then pop it in the top of the box where it is secured away from the next clean tissue. Once all the tissues have been used, you wash and refill. Over and over again.

When the flaxseed has thickened (about 5 mins) add to a bowl with the chickpea flour, milk, nutritional yeast, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper, mix until combined. 3.

02.01.2022 Agreena reusable baking liner plus a spare shoelace (you could use a ribbon from all that wrapping recently) is all I need for plastic-free watermelon this Summer! If you don't think you will get through a whole watermelon, consider freezing bite-sized chunks for the most refreshing smoothie you've had in ages (if you want to top up with wine or vodka we won't judge you )

01.01.2022 As we head into the silly season, it's good to know what to do with the waste that you didn't quite avoid... << Expanded Polystyrene (EPS)>> Are you familiar with that rigid white packaging typically surrounding fragile or electronic goods? Well, it CAN actually be recycled ! Just not in your yellow top bin. Bring your EPS to a drop-off point like Tamala Park, Balcatta Recycling Centre or Claw Environmental. The polystyrene will get a second chance at life, recycled into ...granules which are then reused to make other plastic products. Last financial year Mindarie Regional Council, who operate Tamala Park, collected a staggering 18 tonnes - amazing considering it is so light! That's 18 tonnes that didn't go to landfill!
