I've been absent from Social Media for a while now.

I decided it was time for Less Talk, More Action.

So, I've been behind the scenes working on creating change.

Supermarkets are now accepting BYO Containers!!!

Most butts are made from plastic.

It's up to us to make better choices.

Icecream from @HaagenDazs_US available from @LoopStore_US.

Comes in a reusable stainless steel container.

Laundry Liquid.

I don't usually accept freebies.

However, when I can get a 5 Litre of @ecostore Laundry Liquid using my Air New Zealand Airpoints - @FlyAirNZ then that's one of the freebies that I find hard to turn down.

At least it's bulk and recyclable.

Coffee Cups are usually paper-based with a plastic lining.

Typically not recyclable and end up in landfill.

Most compostable cups need to be commercially composted.

There are limited facilities in NZ.

Take your own cup or have the coffee there.

Loop is a waste-free shopping platform.

It provides products in reusable containers and eliminates disposable single-use packaging.

Major brands have partnered with the scheme which will launch its first pilots in New York and Paris.

I got this bike at the dump shop for $5.

The seat was a bit ripped. But other than that it was in pretty good condition.

It was fit for purpose, the price was a bargain and we rescued something from landfill at the same time.

@intentionalkiwi We have two Bin Inn stores in Whangarei and the Kamo store is the only one that has weetbix. They also have alot of other goodies available package free such as pasta and cream cheese.

[The Zero Waste Way @TheZeroWasteWay]

There's a range of different breakfast cereals to choose from at @BinInn Kamo:

* Weetbix
* Porridge
* Muesli
* Rice Pops
* Cocoa Puffs

And the best part is that there's no packaging.

Bella Vacca Jerseys Milk.

Your first purchase of milk includes the cost of the glass bottle.

When it's empty, return the bottle and swap it for a full one. You will only be charged for the refill of milk.

The Secret Life of Landfill.

There's nothing like a documentary to bring things into perspective.

We can all take small steps each day to reduce our waste.

All it takes is two things.

Decision + Action.

Sushi.

If you're not comfortable to take your own container then you can always sit down and eat it there.

Onerahi Sushi now have cardboard containers available.

It's the first Sushi Shop I've seen around town to introduce cardboard containers.
