Here is a list of practical things I have been able to achieve so far on my ‘green journey’.
· Now ‘air ratting’ my worm farm so it doesn’t become a mini methane producing landfill.
Read ‘Are Worm Farms any better than Landfill’.
· Recycling all my tissues using the worm farm.
Read ‘Winter cold & flu’s produces tissue waste’.
· Have come up with a system for recycling our dog poo waste.
Read ‘Why is dog poo so interesting?’
· Planted trees on National Tree Planting Day at Sydney Park (27.7.08).
Read ‘The Day of National Tree Day’.
· Learnt that the livestock industry is creating more methane greenhouse gas than any other industry. Thus I have decided to cut back to on eating meat. Instead of meat every night we have it ever 2nd night. Also from now on the meat I buy from the grocery store will be cruelty free.
Read ‘A Pig Feeling’.
· Learnt that living in the Sydney City Local Council means I don’t have to remove staples from paper or those plastic windows from envelopes before recycling.
Read ‘Do I need to remove staples & plastic windows from envelopes’?
· Currently learning about Australian Carbon Credit Schemes. In the process of offsetting all my carbon emissions (will update you when I have done this).
Read ‘Australian Carbon Credit Schemes’.
· Had my very first no waste week!
Read ‘Zero Waste Goals’.
· Using a bokashi bin and a worm farm together to reduce our kitchen organic waste. Now only bones are thrown into the rubbish bin – everything else is recycled.
Post still to be written
· Sarhn McArthur Photography is now using 100% post-consumer recycled copy paper.
Read ‘Why I will NOT BE buying Reflex 100% Recycled Paper!’
Just thought I would add a quick post, about my blog ethics. I have just recently added a page on this subject for all to read. For regular readers who may not have noticed the new page here is what it says:
‘Greener Me’ is my (Sarhn McArthur) personal and business journey to live a greener, sustainable life. I write with the intention of being honest, open and accountable. Therefore any favorable comments I make about brands, products or companies are from my personal response. I have not or will not take any form or payment, commission or kick backs for any of my comments on this blog.
If however in the future I decide to add any advertisements onto my blog, they will be separate and easily identifiable. My comments will always be unbiased, unsolicited and free.
Thank you for reading and following my journey.
