We know our recycling system is in crisis. Unsustainable levels of waste generation and market failure are the primary causes. The Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) has created an action plan setting out five key actions for each level of government to help save and strengthen our broken recycling system. The plan identifies the need for stronger leadership and increased investment by governments, greater regulation of our recycling industry, and more responsibility placed on *businesses* to generate less waste. MAV says we can join the campaign by: . . Writing letters or meet with your local State and Federal MPs to brief them on how the crisis is impacting your community. Provide them with a copy of the Rescue Our Recycling Action Plan (PDF - 174.7KB): https://www.mav.asn.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0012/22314/MAV-Action-Plan-Rescue-Our-Recycling.pdf . . Issue a media release voicing your support for the Rescue Our Recycling Action Plan . . Use the #rescueourrecycling hashtag on social media alongside posts calling for action by #springst or #auspol in line with the applicable five point action plan . . Include the Rescue our Recycling logo on your website and in social media promotions.

Yesterday I made some yoghurt and today I mixed it with some homemade jam and popped it into my reusable ice pop moulds to make frozen blackberry yoghurt treats. You can find my updated post on how I make yoghurt to reduce packaging and save money at the link in my bio.

My homemade apple cider vinegar is finished (not scrap apple vinegar) and I’m reusing my Cider Tonic bottle to store it. 👌🏻😋 You can find the process I used on my blog.

I love a citizen science project! I found a Fiddler Beetle in my garden and when I was looking up more information on them I discovered ClimateWatch, developed by EarthWatch with the Bureau of Meteorology and The University of Melbourne to understand how changes in temperature and rainfall are affecting the seasonal behaviour of Australia’s plants and animals, helping to shape our country’s scientific response to climate change. Fiddler Beetles are one of the indicator species being monitored, so I’ve registered, recorded my sighting and downloaded the app for future use. You can find ClimateWatch here: www.climatewatch.org.au
