It really isn't rocket science taking responsibility for your own waste. Just start by making a list of everything in your life - car, home, office - and schedule time for maintenance, repairs, upgrades and conversions. Waste not Want not my grandmother always said - see how you can minimise your waste and reuse somewhere else.
Pollution Management
Be dilligent and minimise your waste through our Water Ways.
Instead of flushing old food scraps, bury in your compost heap.
Clean your Air Conditioning units each month to minimise air pollution inside. Only use when really truly needed.
Look at the air pollution emitted from you car, research more eco friendly options.
Stormwater Management
Keep your Footpath and Gutters Free of Litter
Instead of hosing of outdoor areas into gutter or drain try sweeping.
Keep all drains clear of litter - create a monthly schedule to maintain.
Recycle the swept rubbish like leaves and twigs etc into garden or general rubbish into the recyclable bin
Ensure all yards, parking areas and rooves have drainage and systems in place to direct the rain into the stormwater system and not the sewer.
All waste and material to be disposed of or stored in covered area.
Energy Management
Install Air Conditioning Thermostats and check and maintain regularly
Switch Off Stand By Power at the end of every day
Use Energy Efficient Products - whitegoods, sound and vision equipment
Install Insulation in the Roof
