When was the last time you had your gas heater in your rental property serviced? How many of you just said, 'never'? You could be at risk from carbon monoxide poisoning.

These doorsnakes are handmade by us in Brunswick and are lovingly crafted out of attractive recycled materials. An easy and convenient way to draught proof your doors and rooms. Our doorsnakes average 75cm in length. We are happy to make a range of sizes and colours upon request and also welcome bulk orders.

These door snakes are filled with recycled wadding made from PET plastic bottles and pre-loved fabrics. They do not contain wheat, sand or any other type of organic material, so will not attract vermin.

Make your own edible gifts

After making my bliss balls a few times I decided it was time to branch out and try some different flavour combinations. I had a bag of dried apricots that I was using in a different recipe, so decided to do an apricot and almond version and they turned out rather delish! They’re just as simple to make as the bliss balls, so if you liked those, maybe give these a try too!

Eat your way to a stronger community

BethanyJones — Mon, 02 May 2011 06:34:27 +0000

Ever moved into a new neighbourhood and after 6 months realised that you haven't even meet your neighbours? Even in an apartment block where there is only a thin wall separating you from your neighbour, you can go for years without any more than a friendly nod.
Renting often sees a high turn over faces, places and neighbourhoods which means that, despite best efforts, it is sometimes hard to connect with the community. We all know the benefits of a strong community and friendly neighbourhood but often we don't know how to engage or start the conversation.

Living Sustainably Locally

ispyplumpie — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 22:58:20 +0000

One of the easiest ways to live more sustainably is to live as locally as possible – which means supporting local businesses, buying locally produced fruit and veggies and leaving the car at home whenever you can. This can be tricky however if you don’t know what is available in your local area, or how to find out more to inform your choices. I have come across some websites that I think are great resources and worth bookmarking – so I thought I’d share them with you!

Save energy, save money

Food waste is a big problem in many homes, throwing away uneaten food wastes money and depletes natural resources. We've featured a series of articles on ways to reduce food waste such as shopping mindfully, managing leftovers and storing food correctly. One of the times that many people struggle to live sustainably in the kitchen is when they are poor, tired or busy. When you're tired or busy, it's easy to reach for packaging heavy fast food rather than shopping for and preparing a meal.
