Australia, we're still in a war with waste, and while not all of the solutions rest with households, there’s still plenty we can do at home to reduce our waste footprint.
  • The War on Waste aims to reduce food, fashion, and plastic waste.
  • Recycling alone is not enough to solve the plastic waste problem.
  • Plastic Free July is a global movement to reduce single-use plastics.
  • Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and can be reduced by shopping smart and composting.
  • Fast fashion and textile consumption have significant environmental impacts.
  • Mending, clothes swaps, and buying second-hand are sustainable alternatives to fast fashion.
  • The fashion industry should invest in sustainable materials and production methods. Individuals can take action to reduce waste through everyday choices and participation in community initiatives.

    Actually, I throw a great deal more than that out when it comes to food. I grow a lot and on top of what we compost every other edible scrap/leftovers we throw out goes to our poultry to grow eggs and meat.

    So it is actually OK to throw out food, as long as you throw it in the right direction.
