What is a Rainforest Alliance Certified farm, and why should you purchase products that feature this symbol?
The Rainforest Alliance is an independent organisation that works with individuals, communities and companies whose livelihoods depend on the land to reduce environmental impacts and increase social and economic benefits. The Rainforest Alliance Certified seal of approval makes it easy for consumers to know they are buying a product that has been grown or made sustainably, where water, soil and wildlife habitat are conserved, workers are treated well, families have access to education and health care and communities benefit.

I use a microfibre cloth to wash my face with instead of expensive beauty products. Less packaging, landfill, transportation and cost!
meal planning! I have been able to reduce wasted food to virtually nil by meal planning every week and shopping fortnightly. This has meant less landfil, less waste, less packaging and I’ve even been able to turn off the extra fridge in the garage as it’s no longer needed – less electricity usage too.
Well, we have a bucket in the shower to catch the warming-up water, and we use that to water the garden.
We compost food scraps, paper – and tea bags, of course!
Recycle everything possible.
I live in a block of units that houses many elderly people. I’m in my twenties so I run monthly gardening weekends where I encourage my friends to come and we maintain the garens, plant trees and establish a compost system for the entire unit complex. In return the other residents bake us a roast and send us home with some homemade jams and bikkies.
When making your first cuppa for the day – fill the kettle, then fill a thermos with the boiling water. You won’t need to reboil the kettle till the thermos is empty, and you’ll have boiling water on hand to make another cuppa later on!
We take the idea of a compost heap/worm farm even further. We actually have three and rotate them around according to what stage they’re at. We add things like the contents of the vacuum cleaner bag and the lint filters from the washing machine and dryer and they love the hair from hairbrushes.
Hubby is paranoid about security and rips the name and address labels from letters, medication labels and documents that don’t need to be filed. It’s OK, the worms don’t divulge your information to anyone!
I use citronella soy melts to keep the bugs away,refuse to use plastic bags and use enviro bags and 4MYEARTH lunch wrap products.
A family that Showers together stays together! Also Recycle Reduce and Reuse it our Motto!
This xmas is also going to be packaging and gift wrap free!
Leave lights off of an evening when tele is on it provides enough light to see what you are doing
