We have oceans of waste. Amazon’s plastic packaging waste alone could encircle the globe 500 times: buff.ly/39H6cqB. We need to do better.

Use less, buy less, waste less.

We're building a world of waste. The Bantar Gebang landfill outside of Jakarta alone stretches across 200 football fields.

It's time to move beyond linear systems to ones that are truly circular in nature: buff.ly/3m953T1

Coca Cola produces 3 million tonnes of plastic packaging a year – equivalent to 200,000 bottles a minute. That needs to change.

It's a hard balance between getting rid of fossil fuel powered machinery and vehicles and buying *new stuff that is electric, mostly plastic encased and is made in countries a long way from here. The first thing to think about is using LESS energy all around and buy less stuff. I did get an electric mower a while back because letting the yard get tall and dry in these fire summers is a bad idea. But, I am also constantly finding ways of using up that space to grow food. I have no native top soil, just rocky grit so I build raised beds everywhere. One area in my yard has a whole bunch of clay type soil that a neighbour was getting rid of many years ago. It became a base for building fertile soil but it's the only spot that has any. That doesn't mean the weeds don't grow in the rest, they grow everywhere. Couch grass is the main culprit. Some weeds are useful medicinals and pollinators: dandelions, plantain, and mullein. There is a bad patch of invasives: blackberries, tansy and mint. I pick as many berries as I can, pick and dry the mint for tea, and dry the tansy to use in the bee smoker. But there is still far too much. Chopping it back (with a machete) every year before it goes to seed seems to help it from spreading. I'm constantly searching for new ways to use less engine powered machinery and more hand powered tools. And keeping the peace and the silence.

Not quite sure WHAT in my search history led Amazon to believe that I would be interested in buying a lifelike set of silicone feet but I'm afraid I will have to pass on this incredible offer.

It's easy to get caught up in the consumerism of the holiday season, but let's remember that buying less can be a powerful act of resistance against a capitalist system that values profit over people and the planet.

Thanks to the online shopping skills of my beautiful partner, we've scored a huge, cheap second hand bulk set of Lego Duplo pieces on Trade Me.

The toddler will love this present. We'll build so many rockets and robots!
