We need to take steps to reduce our waste

SOMETIMES I have no idea how we accumulate so much rubbish.

With all the packaging so much of our food comes in, it's a pretty regular occurrence to see my bin chock-a-block with trash by the end of the week.

Of course, I have seen plenty of stories as to how people live their lives while accumulating small amounts of waste.

I always wanted to learn more about how to live in a similar way, but simply never got around to it.

All of this is to say why it would be great for heaps of people, including myself, to attend the zero waste master class next week.

I think we all need to hear about the small changes that can have huge benefits for the environment.

According to Rob Pollack from The Source, once we understand where our waste is going, we will be able to fix it.

This master class will be held at The Mills Precinct on Wednesday, June 20 from 6pm.

Make sure you head along if you'd like to help reduce the amount of waste you output, and help the environment in the process.

If we can reduce the amount of waste heading into our bins each week, I reckon the effort put in will be worth it.
