[77] Tips On Decluttering And Organising Our Homes

Eco Chat with Laura Trotta Podcast ·

2017/03/28

This month has all been about Minimalist March in my Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs membership community, and so many of us have been making an effort to get on top of clutter in our homes and lives, and learn to live with less. For some of us, it’s been a bit of a struggle moving gear on, others have been ruthless and have transformed rooms very quickly. But one thing in common has been that everyone has welcomed the challenge and said how much they needed it! Our homes have so much more clutter

It’s Minimalist March in my Self Sufficiency in the Suburbs community and we’re all encouraging each other to declutter our homes, live with less, and become conscious consumers. In my own home over the past month or so we’ve literally spent hours decluttering, selling some items on our local Buy Swap and Sell Facebook Group and even holding a stall at the local Rotary Car Boot Sale. Despite these efforts we still have boxes of items we no longer want or need. I know that we’re totally not alone

2017/02/21

During a week where many of my friends were rocking out at the Guns n Roses concerts around Australia, I chose instead to sit in an audience of thousands of adoring fans in Adelaide’s Festival Theatre to listen to the Rock God of the Natural World, Sir David Attenborough, on his “Quest for Life” tour. For two and a half hours my husband and I were mesmerized listening to Sir David share stories from his lifetime of amazing adventures bringing images of the some of the most exotic species in the most

[71] Using Food For Beauty And Body Care

2017/02/13

Lotions and potions, deodorant, perfumes, soaps, exfoliants, shower gels, and make up: many of us probably use some or most of these products every day and may not give them a second thought. But it’s worth giving them a second thought because the average woman applies hundreds of chemicals to her body daily, in the form of cosmetics and personal care products, and around 90% of the ingredients used these products have not been safely tested for human health effects. While there’s a growing range of

So you’ve been trying hard to eat clean and reduce the additives and toxins in your diet, but are you cleaning clean? You may not be aware of it, but the typical unassuming suburban home has hundreds, if not thousands, of chemicals contained in the cleaning products that are applied every day to windows, floors, toilets, bathrooms, carpets, furniture, crockery, glasses, clothes … even the air we breathe (!). Just like eating the junkiest junk food, using these products to clean our home can make us

2017/01/31

It’s little surprise that the foods we eat impact our environment. Whether it be high food miles, large amounts of water or chemicals used to produce the food, land degradation caused by food production, or resources used to process and package the food and transport it to market, the choices we make when it comes to our diet can make a lasting impact on the world in which we live. The good news is that by making a few small changes to our diet and including more plant-based foods, we not only

I hope you enjoyed the previous two episodes where I chatted biodiversity and climate change with Professor Bill Laurance from James Cook University.

Well holiday season is in full swing in Australia, which means that many of us are taking a break from everyday life to rejuvenate ourselves, catch up with family or friends, or just to relax and have fun. While a break from everyday life is welcomed and to be encouraged, leaving your eco habits at home isn’t.

Given we’re smack bang in the middle of party season I wanted to check in with you and raise the topic of ecotaining. When I talk about ecotaining I’m referring to the process of keeping the environment in mind when you entertain your friends and family. In a nutshell it’s entertaining with real foods and being super mindful of the waste generated… be it food waste or waste from packaging, decorations and even items like plates, cutlery and cups. It’s a topic I’m super passionate about….. that’s why
