Get a plant!
Australians spend around 90% of their time indoors.
Studies show that indoor air is more polluted than outdoor air.
Indoor plants are an easy and attractive way to purify the air in your home and workplace.
Keep them away from your pets though!

Every girl has the power inside her to be independent and she deserves the space, support and belief to discover this for herself. Visit us at our Open Day on Wednesday 3 May or register for a Be a Merici Girl Day.
At school, home and work in the ACT look for yellow bins. Into these bins, please put only glass jars and bottles, plastic containers, cans, paper and cardboard.
Nothing else and definitely no food or soft plastics.
Thanks for doing your part to reduce waste to landfill.

What do you do when you have leftover food?
According to foodbank.org.au:
In Australia, 7.6 million tonnes of food is wasted every year.
While 70% of this food is still perfectly edible, 1 in 6 Australian adults haven’t had enough to eat in the last year.
On top of this, 1.2 million children have gone hungry during the same period.
So what should you do with leftover food?
