We love to buy. Most ends up in landfill.

• Australia is one of the most wasteful countries in the developed world.
• Each year we produce 540 kg of household waste per person.
• This includes 103 kg of plastic waste per person.

We buy things, they collect dust inside for awhile, then relocate to the garage. Final destination, the rubbish tip!

 

 

 

We have a culture of accumulating

• Do you buy clothes 'on sale' that then get worn only once?
• Do you have any still-in-the-box kitchen appliances stored away in your cupboard?
• How many single use items do you use on a daily basis?

 

 

 

Time to make more conscious choices

Consider making more sensible decisions about what you need.

• Only buy things that has a specific purpose in your home.
• Eliminate single use items where possible.
• Tell a friend about your changes and how it can help.

Making a few small lifestyle changes it can help positively impact the future.
