40 Garage Sales in one town on one morning - Sunday 20th October, 8.30am - 12pm! My treasure hunt detector is going off! Click through my profile to find the addresses and a description of each sale as well as a link to an interactive map. We've got Jamieson Road Duo providing folk, rock and blues music at the Poowong Public Hall were the stalls will be and you can enjoy something to eat at the Poowong Café and Takeaway or the Poowong Hotel. There's also the Poowong IGA where you can get money out if you spend over $10. Poowong is a lovely little town in the South Gippsland Hills if you feel like a morning of fresh air and fantastic vistas. This is the perfect day out for sustainable shoppers, bargain hunters, treasure hunters, collectors, artists, hobbyists, and more! Let everyone know you're going to be on the Poowong Pickers Garage Sale Trail.

This fantastic visual was presented at the #VicWasteEd19 conference yesterday by Amelia Berner, the FEAST Education Manager from @ozharvest. 7 million tonnes of food is wasted in Australia each year - which would look a little like this if it was dumped into Sydney Harbour! Isn't that crazy!! And households are responsible for 50% of this food waste. 📷 credit: OzHarvest #VicWasteEd19 #womenagainstwaste #zerowaste #wastenotwantnot #plasticfree #goingzerowaste #wastehierarchy #conciousconsumption #resourcerecovery #environmentalism #foodwaste #lovefoodhatewaste #waronwasteau #waronwaste

I spent the past two days in Geelong at the Victorian Waste Education Conference picking up tid-bits, gathering ideas, and meeting people. It was time well spent! You can see I tried out my chalkboard name tag which didn’t smudge too much over the day. The organisers asked everyone to bring their own name tag, reusable cup and drink bottle. Meals and drinks were waste free and they didn’t give out conference packs. 🙌🏻👌🏻 Well done @sustainabilityvictoria & Barwon South West Waste & Resource Recovery Group #VicWasteEd19 #womenagainstwaste #zerowaste #wastenotwantnot #plasticfree #goingzerowaste #wastehierarchy #conciousconsumption #resourcerecovery #environmentalism #foodwaste #lovefoodhatewaste #waronwasteau #waronwaste

Here’s another little gem I found in the stationary cupboard at work. 😃 Remember my attempt at zero waste name badges for the volunteers at my recent event? Well the paper name tags got fairly tatty over the course of the day. These reusable bamboo chalkboard name badges may have been better. What do you think? 😃 I’m not sure what chalk board is made from these days but I assume it wouldn’t be compostable or recyclable at the end of its life, but definitely reusable for a long time. ♻️
