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!

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!

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.

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.

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.

I use a microfibre cloth to wash my face with instead of expensive beauty products. Less packaging, landfill, transportation and cost!
