Stimulate your local economies and shop from farmers markets. Not only is the produce fresher and tastier but it is also better for the environment. Most small farms use organic farming practices and selling at markets helps reduce food miles and waste and pollution from packaging. Are you looking to support a farmers market near you? The Australian Farmers Market Association has a helpful search engine to help you do just that!
ShareWaste connects people who wish to recycle their kitchen scraps and turn their waste into new soil and fertiliser with neighbours who compost, have worm-farms or keep chickens. By joining the ShareWaste community , you actively divert waste from landfill and connect with people in your neighbourhood. You can be a host or a donor and signing up is easy. #sharewaste #compost #sharewastehost #sharewastedonor
A welcoming place for individuals and groups, community libraries provide access to services, information, books, periodicals and media. Borrowing books and media reduces your carbon footprint by sharing them with the community. Libraries are valuable community assets where culture, learning and social connection thrive. Supporting your local library provides environmental and economic value. #communitylibrary #locallibrary
