Albanys Low Waste Living day 28/4/18 was an inspiring day. In the morning a range of community members came together and we plotted practical actions to implement. Then in the afternoon, it was living ‘low waste’ at home, and making newspaper bin liners!

The Low Waste Shopping Tour 7/10/17 was another great walk & talk event at Katanning Woolworths, where I showed participants how to cut the amount of waste brought into the home, whilst still shopping in a mainstream supermarket.

Uncovering the Understorey field walk 5/10/17, was a lovely afternoon checking out our understorey revegetation project sites, and hearing about the techniques used here and on another farm.

The Dumbleyung Op-Shop Morning 9/9/17 was a great event – beautifully presented with a fabulous morning tea. I thoroughly enjoyed sharing our low waste journey with the ladies, and of course, getting some great ‘new’ second-hand clothes! 

Thank you to everyone who attended our presentation at the Great Southern Sustainable Living Expo in Albany 25/3/17 – it was great to see ‘standing room only’ with so many interested people!
