Home | What is sustainability?
Living sustainably means living smarter. Through this site you’ll learn how to reduce your impact on the environment and save money.
Taking more care about
rubbish disposal is good for you and the environment. Up to two-thirds of
household rubbish can be reduced, reused or recycled. Reducing, reusing and
recycling lowers carbon emissions, saves energy and resources and cuts your
rubbish disposal costs.
The best option for getting rid of your food waste depends on the options available to you locally. There are arguments for and against the use of sink waste disposal units (sometimes referred to by the common brand name "InSinkErator").
