Waste Session at Ellenbrook Sustainability Street

 

perth waste

 

And then there was Two!! But it wasn’t a waste (nice use of pun) of time. The four of us discussed the waste matrix and came up with great examples to reduce our waste output. We even shifted recycling down a few rungs to expose what is possible before walking out to the yellow lid bin. 

And if you are interested, there’s rumour of a 100 days of waste personal quest in Perth, where participants monitor and measure their waste over a 100 days with the idea of observing closely what we use and how we can reduce it – let me know if you want more info.
 
And to close on a sobering note of inspiration. David Suzuki and his wife produce the amount of waste equivalent to a 1 litre milk carton per month! Wow, after composting, that’s all that needs to leave their premises and get processed off site.
 
See you Monday 27th at 6pm Grapevine to discuss the sow project and start to wrap this year up.

Water Session

Ellenbrook SSA Villagers with Cindy from Watercorp

To some it might be a dry topic, but it is definitely the word on everyone’s lips at the moment- yes we’re talking about water.

The latest session at Ellenbrook SSA Village, was all about H2O and how we can reduce demands on this precious substance.  Dorothy gave a fantastic Communiversity presentation about her garden, including tips on soil- conditioning and waterwise planting. Lots of questions and note taking ensued. This segued beautifully into the guest speaker Cindy Siano from WA Watercorp’s presentation. Cindy gave a fantastic overview of water use in WA and a few of the big projects that are currently in the  pipeline...(sorry!) But she also led a great discussion on the best way to reduce demands on water - through simple, cost-free, changes in water use practices in the house and garden.  Buckets, mulch, shower-timers anyone!?
