Keep Australia Beautiful
There have been a few slogans and ditties to encourage Australians to throw their rubbish in the bin. “Do the Right Thing. It’s an Obligation. Our Planet will thank you for your cooperation. ” “Keep Australia Beautiful” It’s beyond me why people would even consider littering our beautiful lands. But they do. To be fair,…

“If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito!” Wise words from Anita Roddick, the founder of The Body Shop. I first stumbled across the philosophies and teachings of Roddick in her book, Business as Unusual. So many wonderful ideas aligning with the environment.
Nature Lovers Club
From a young age, I’ve been interested in nature and the environment. But until my daughter was born, I ranted and raved about the environment but never actually took serious steps to minimise my own disruption. If we don’t all take steps to improve the way we live and the impact that we have on the environment,…
