Did you BYO today? ☕️♻️

Coffee cups are EVERYWHERE, and although they look like paper, common takeaway cups are lined with plastic, meaning they can’t be recycled and end up going straight to landfill.

With only 60% of Australians using a reusable coffee cup, we started the campaign ‘BYO Friday’, to incite behaviour change in the community so we all get in the habit of bringing our own cups, containers and cutlery every Friday! 🌱

Join the revolution and suggest your local cafe becomes a responsible cafe! Tag them below to let them know! 👏

Do I really need it? 🧐

What question do you ask yourself before making a purchase? One of our best tips is to write a list of everything you want to buy, and see if you still want or need it in a week. By keeping a list on my phone, it stops me from impulse buying, and instead I have to evaluate if I actually even need the item. If not, how badly do I want it? If it’s going to cost me the equivalent of two days of work, is it still worth it?

Being eco conscious starts with small decisions, and if you follow our list of questions, when you decide a purchase is worth it, it feels that much sweeter! 🍭

Plastic 👏 bans 👏 work! 👏

A recent study by the New University of Notre Dame has revealed a dramatic reduction in single-use plastics since bans were introduced at the state and federal government level! By stopping plastic at the source, the likelihood of it ending up in our beautiful natural environment has reduced by 50% 🎉

As a result of this success, the researcher, Dr. Linda Davies, now plans to introduce permanent beachcombing bins to make beach clean ups even easier! The waste collection sites would ensure that litter from around Western Australia is formally reported and recycled! ♻️

This week, we've been checking our fashion habits by using this nifty love check from @fash_rev to think about how much importance we place on each garment we purchase! 👗🌱

‘Big brands and retailers produce too much too fast, and manipulate us into a toxic cycle of overconsumption. Meanwhile, the majority of people that make our clothes are not paid enough to meet their basic needs, and already feel the impacts of the climate crisis – which the fashion industry fuels.’

In 2022, buy second hand, support small businesses prioritising sustianability, and re-wear and repair your clothes! 💃
