Earlier this month I was walking through the car park and noticed multiple bits of rubbish scattered across the floor and decided to clean it up.

If you are interested in planting native Australian trees, Trees R Us in Gympie have a huge range and the beautiful girls there know exactly what they are talking about. At the Environtech Expo organised by the Gympie Council next to the Pumped Hydro stall were two Gorgeous Gympie Girls from Natives R Us. They brightened everyone's day with their pink tops, gum boots nails, knowledge of native plants and their bag of goodies. As well as information about which plants attract bees and a little plant to keep, was a little bag of dried lemon myrtle and a recipe for Lemon Myrtle Biscuits. I love to bake so this was perfect for me. I made Lemon Myrtle Flower and Butterfly Biscuits for my work colleagues. Can we applaud the Pink Gympie Girls at Natives R Us, share and pay them a visit?

A reminder of the importance of planting trees!

Approximately 80% of ocean litter consists of plastics, which gradually disintegrate into minuscule particles, which cause ocean to be acidic. Shockingly, a quarter of our seafood supply is significantly tainted by ingesting these micro plastics. This is of grave concern since we consume seafood and water, making us vulnerable to severe health implications such as reproductive system impairment and hormonal imbalances. Furthermore, marine creatures are also affected by these pollutants, compounding the ecological repercussions. Plastic should be exclusively employed for permanent or semi-permanent items, such as automotive and aircraft components, long-lasting containers meant for repeated use, and machinery and building materials designed to endure for over a decade. The utilisation of plastic in packaging, unless it can be guaranteed to be fully biodegradable, should be banned. Please do not buy plastics that you are going to put into the bin.

Until we can solve the production of disposable objects and wrappings, and until we change improve the behaviour of people who litter, some of us need to clean up, in the moment, so this rubbish doesn’t pollute and damage both our physical environment and our aesthetic enjoyment.

Hydrogen car is available in Australia. It will be much better than petrol car if energy is sourced by solar pannels. Can not wait till I get one. I like Nexo.

Picked up a bag of rubbish

Old pot, some old plastic toys and a bottle top for a pond and my 12yo made himself an animal garden!

My 12yo also loves to make creative stuff...he found some windscreen wipers on the side of the road and he made an arrow (as in a bow and arrow) then placed a can on my new bird feeder and he had his target!

I just love to recycle and re-purpose! It is road side collection in our neighbourhood. I found a little chair, sanded it back and gave it a light oil and now its a plant stand!

There is nothing more nourishing then soup...but even better when you've grown your own greens. I know its not possible for all of us to have veggie gardens but pots of herbs and spices can be so rewarding and wholesome!
