Did you know eating according to the seasons is an age old practice that can help to reduce your carbon footprint, and it tastes better too!

Food miles are not good for anyone! Buy locally from small businesses to not only support your community but also reduce food miles, packaging, pesticides and preservatives!

Urban hives are popping up in cities across Australia helping to reintroduce the ‘urban garden’ and supporting the critical environmental work of the honeybee.
Water is such a finite resource. We can all do little things to save it where we can. Take shorter showers. Aim for a 4 minute shower. Find a 4 minute song and shower to that! Find a friend and shower together. Save cooking water to put on plants. Turn the tap off when brushing teeth. Use water saver sprinklers and hoses.
