If you believe it's too expensive to live a more eco friendly lifestyle, let us prove otherwise.
Here is a list of things you can start doing today, that are either super cheap or completely free. Some will actually save you money.

- Eat less meat
- Stop buying bottled water
- Buy less stuff
- Walk or ride more; drive less
- Turn off the lights. They don't all have to be on all the time
- Don’t buy plastic shopping bags from the supermarket. Bring your own bags
- Say no to straws
- Shower shorter
- Invest in the simplest grey water system: use a bucket to catch ‘run off’ water in the shower and use it to water your garden or flush the toilet
- Buy second hand clothes at the Op Shop, Vinnies, Salvos, Depop or Sustainable Marketplace
- Don't throw out clothes. Donate, swap or sell them
- Don’t run the aircon unnecessarily
- Set the aircon to 24 degrees. It does the job just as well and costs heaps less
- In winter when the heater is on: close the curtains
- Ditto in the heat: keep windows and curtains closed when the sun beats on them
- Close internal doors to keep heat out or warmth in (depending on the season)
- Bring your own take away cup
- Don't take away but enjoy your coffee while sitting down in your favourite café
- Make your take away coffee or tea at home
- Take bottles and cans to your local Return & Earn
- Recycle all other bottles and containers
- Recycle soft plastics at RedCycles in your local supermarket
- Make use of your council's chemical round up days
- Buy bars of soap, not plastic bottles of liquid hand soap
- Bring your own shopping bags
- Put a notice on your mail box requesting no junk mail
- Ask for all bills and bank statements to be emailed to you
- Repair clothes and shoes, don’t throw them out
