HI Hanno, ty....

There is no planet b.

I like living here too - have probably planted more trees than any one else and they have all lived!

We compost our waste into our garden, and recycle our bags and cans. It's such an easy thing to do.

The bible says the earth will stand to times indefinite, which means nothing apocalyptic will happen to it, but yes, I do believe in climate change, but it is a natural phenomena and not caused by mankind. The ancient Egyptians suffered climate change when it didn't rain for 60 years and the wonderful grasslands became dry sand. The Vikings too experienced climate change when the sun didn't shine for 5 years and when no crops grew, they set off for kinder climates. I recycle all food scraps and have done so for more than 40 years, I also mend clothes and recycle them, but I really don't like being lectured to. I was very annoyed when I had to give up the single use plastic bag, which delighted both Coles and Woollies because it did wonders to their bottom line. I had to buy bags 3 times worse for the environment as well as garbage bags in 3 sizes because my single use bags weren't single use. I have also had to manage minus a plastic straw now forced to use paper ones that go soggy before I finish my drink, plastic cutlery has also gone replaced by bamboo that leaves a terrible taste in the mouth. The humble cotton bud was also deemed demonic and consigned to history replaced by a very unforgiving bamboo one that is quite capable of bursting an eardrum. Cardboard is no substitute for polystyrene because it doesn't keep the food warm yet all the while disposable nappies are still available, so are floor wipes, face wipes, hand wipes, baby wipes, toilet wipes, furniture wipes, glass wipes, pet wipes, but apparently these pose no problem to either sustainability or climate change. So I ask you a question, are we fair dinkum about climate change?

All is well. Carpe Diem! :)

These ideas are extremely easy to follow people are just lazy

Recycling alone isn't the best answer. It uses a lot of petrol and coal and man labour to do it. the better way is just not to use plastic or metal or paper at all.

We don't own the Planet. The Planet owns us. There are many parts of Climate change only relate to making sure the oil company's stay happy. I keep collecting recyclable soft plastic, because the new machine will be some day. others laugh at me, because they can't get their head around it, so they continue throwing recyclable soft plastics away. I don't drive a car, is that a benifit or a loss. the list goes on and on. I don't have a child, that is a benefit to the planet because I am not contibuting to poulation growth. I m a human so I can't get away from this planet destroying madness. the only way is to live like an ape in the forest.

Since I returned to the city I have carried on the job as I garden by giving neighbours any excess of my own garden and also ensuring my scrap paper, cardboard etc goes to our local Recycle Depot.

I spent the first years of my marriage in a country area and found that generally country people are much more recycle, reuse and repair than city dwellers. There is also a great deal of barter as their resources in financial items are often fairly slim but exchanging what you or they have in excess in such things as eggs, fruit, compost, hay, children's clothes, are ways to balance each others budgets and not feel you have lost money but gained new friends.

im an upcycler, I braid plastic bags to make rope to hang my pot plant holders, which are cordial bottles, I paint with coffee and coffee grounds as well as use them in the garden, I make my own gloss with polystyrene, you put all your scrap polystyrene into a product called xylene depending on the amount of gloss you want the more you put in the thicker it gets you have to find your way there but its a great product and so much cheaper it is a matt gloss and i recommend a mask

I used to think the same until I realised how major corporations are the biggest contributors to climate change and pollution. It makes our efforts seem meagre and futile. Until these global organisations change I suspect life on earth is limited.

Me too Yes, my life, my family life depends on you and the little things you do can make huge difference

I'm proud to say that i do my diligence for the planet

WE should also stop wearing plastic clothes, using plastic manchester, plastic wood/furniture.. etc etc. We could stop the factories. stop fast foods, etc etc. This planet will be around longer than we will...

I have solar, I upcycle, recycle, compost, worm farm, turn power ports off at the walls and lights off when not in the room. All my appliances are high energy rating certified, every light is a led light. My hot water is on a timer and I use very little power as a single person. What I will never do is harm this planet by buying an EV plus I don't want to be burnt alive. Though climate change has little to do with pollution as that is just one of many contributors. The main reason is that the earth 🌎 is orbiting closer to the sun so we get hotter then later on we will orbit further away and an ice age will start.

Roses love coffee grounds. Since most store bags are now plastic, I recycle them back to the store. We also recycle our soda cans, clear plastic bottles, milk jugs, car batteries, metals and all paper waste goes in the recycle bin. We recycle used oil back to the auto parts store. They use it to make insecticide. As for any meat scraps after dinner, the dogs accept all donations! The goose loves leftover veggies. My outside ferals get all left over milk.

I HAVE DONE THIS IN MY FRONT GARDEN, MIX IT UP AND I THINK MAKE THEM FLOW BETTER

Yes very frustrating when people don’t care especially in working kitchens!!! 🙃

I get a little furious the way some family members use the incorrect bins provided. I'm sure it's just laziness or couldn't careless attitude. Also a recycling/materials site would come in handy for rubbish your not sure about.

Yes

great advice☺

Wouldn't help, this volume of work. Need to contribute much more.

it is normally bloody Chinese imported goods that really add to the rubbish

Plastic containers are annoying bulky and a waste but it can be used many times for multiple ideas

What I find annoying is that most plastics aren't recycled. Big solid 20 litre oil containers are thrown in landfill. The amount of plastic containers like for frozen peas etc and plastic wrapping which isn't recycled is atrocious. Recycling is a good thing but I think the government isn't really serious, they just like to give the impression they are doing something.

A few more good ideas. Use material nappies and wipes not disposables which takes 100 years or more to break down. Do not use coffee pods, disposable coffee cup. Do not use plastic bags or any type of plastic and dispose of correctly by recycling at least. Do not buy plastic bottles of water as these are thrown away all over the place. Put native plants in your garden and or pot plants. I saw a Butterfly garden the other day on TV. Lovely. I am sure Bees would come to it also and it was only very small up against a wall.All this would make a difference but as you say Asia and the UK and other countries have high incidence of pollution in the air, land and waterways. The ocean has a huge garbage trap that would take years to clean up if it could be. Fishing gear is another thing where the long lines for instance are trapping so many of the beautiful large and small creatures. There are a few dedicated divers etc. locating them and removing them which is admirable but is a drop in the ocean. But as you say every little bit helps.

Yes it's help but the third world is having hard time because of the way they live we can't let their countries Fall in disrepair

Bless you, APB. I watched a nature show about animal rescue, and plastic floating in the ocean looks like jellyfish, and it's being eaten by marine wildlife. I'm doing all I can, but only Jehovah's Kingdom coming to earth will correct all mankind has done to ruin the earth. Matthew 6:10. ;-D

I've been recycling since I was a kid. Unfortunately, there are still people who litter constantly. I'm so tired of people parking their cars in front of my apartment building and dumping their trash into the street and onto the sidewalk as if no one lived here.

true too many people

I recycle everything I use ! And never throw food out

It is know wonder others plants do not visit us!man has trashed the plant!

I have a worm farm ,I recycle and usually have 1 small bag of rubbish a week for the bin

We recycle.

IF Climate Change is taking place, which I firmly believe it is, then each individual has got to play their part in addressing the problem. Individually what each of us do may not seem like much, such as taking our own containers to the Deli instead of the staff putting that 125gms of Ham etc. in HUGE Plastic bags and then wrapping it in copious sheets of paper, recycling as much as possible - DON'T Buy Sliced Meats, Chicken, Cheese etc. all packed in Plastic, and very much more expensive than the same products at the Deli or Butcher's, In our local supermarket they sell Bacon for less than $30kg, The same, but packed in Plastic, from the Self Serve fridge is priced at $43kg! Every bit we do may seem like nothing but collectively we will acheive amazing results. We cannot rely on our Politicians to do anything, other than chatter because they are frightened of putting people off-side anf thereby losing their Votes. If you know some so-called Sport, such as all Motor Racing is bad for the environment but other than for the winner it actually acheives nothing of benefit to the World then don't go to the races or watch them on TV.Edited 02-Jun-25 12:12pm

i never used to think much about climate change and recycling until i saw a document om tv and now things have changed for me.

I like living here too. Don't drink coffee, do all that you suggest, and more. every little bit helps.

Buying in bulk, shopping at no-waste stores, using less of everything, growing food, composting, mending and not wasting stuff is some of the things I do to be eco concious.

Yes. While one contributor to the solution won't do much, millions of contributors can do miracles.

Problem is certain plastic is not recyclable.bread wraps and some food containers. Also there is a LOT of drinks food coming into Australia from overseas that are not recyclable and bottles cans cannot be cashed in at the return and earn centres. One way to use plastics that be recycled is to treat them under very high heat and pressure to make traffic sign posts,street sign posts and probably a lot more uses

in my units,here we have a 4 recycle bins and all the units use them and they are great. I use recycle bags for fruit outa Coles and I use recycle from Aldi

I have a worm farm, and recycle everything

We try to recycle everything.

The planet is fine. Can we stop with these stupid types of discussions? Talk about beating a dead horse!

We have stopped using plastic bags in the supermarkets so that has to make a difference but there are still lots of things we can do to stop rubbish lying around

No raindrop thinks they are part of the flood. There are some 380,000 big companies in the world and 8 billion people. Now admittedly a chunk of those people would be babies and young kids, but imagine if a large percentage of those people each did a single thing everyday for the planet, what a change we could make.

We are living in a rapidly changing world ... we wont stop Climate Change .. maybe slow it .. the world has been warming since the Ice Age and MAN has accellarated it ... I saw Plastic Bags introduced and now we are trying to rid them ..... I recycle and bury food scraps in my vegie garden ...but Generational change is making more waste.

It's a difficult topic I think. Yes, there's lots of little individual steps people can take but the big steps need to be taken by the biggest influencers of pollution (like companies and government institutions) for substantial change to happen. I think as well as these little things we do we should also spend time writing to the people who can make the biggest changes - submitting on bills that influence pollution, asking our favourite brands to make their packaging recyclable, petitioning your local council to set up a green waste collection or asking the supermarket for a soft plastics collection.

Reminds me of the story of a young girl walking along the beach and seeing a starfish on the sand, she picked it up and threw it back into the sea. When told that her effort was insignificant, She replied, for THAT starfish , it was very significant. !!

Not sure how to recycle plastic bags as stores around here use paper and always ask if you want a bag before giving you one. I mostly bring my own bag or buy so few things that I do not need one

I try to recycle where possible, including artwork that are made out of all recycled materials

I do everything I can, only to find it has been a waste of time. Look at the red cycle scheme!!! We are "led" by woke idiots.

I recycle everything I can, my coffee grounds go in a fogo bin from my council that is then used in community gardens

I recycle everything I can...

Sorry but I trash my java grounds. My neighbors would kill me if I ruined their lawns and my landlord said no as well. However, I recycle a lot and hey- if you have a kitty cat, those plastic bags make good bags o hold the ookies when you clean out his or her or their litter boxes. I save a lot of those bags and donate them to the local food bank. When I go to the food bank, I always use cloth or canvas bags that can be used over and over again and they are even washable! Each year I have a freebies day on which I put out on my front porch (Marked FREE) a lot of items I no longer need nor want. This is recycling too.

don't buy plastics

always recycling things

Grow, your own vegetables. Zucchinis are really easy…

Just do our bit and a bit more as much as you can do.

There are simply far too many humans on this planet. Mother Nature didn't design the ecosystem to cope with excessive numbers. She usually keeps things in balance (e.g. too many rabbits means more wolves, too few rabbits means less wolves). Continual interference by humans and their excessive numbers has and still is screwing that balance up. Morons want to also start ruining other planets as well. 😟

Don't use plastic bags.I love the old string bags for veges and use cloth bags for groceries. I avoid buying products that are wrapped,apart from essentials like sugar. I don't drive,there is sufficient public transport for my needs. I live simply, reuse or repurpose what I can and buy second hand as much as I can. We just had hard rubbish Pick up here. You wouldn't believe the amount of waste in the streets. I have always lived this way,don't expect others to do the same,but it has become more popular with economic crisis and awareness of pollutants. I believe the world is changing. Whether from climate change or just a cycle that the planet goes through,it's important to realise that we can make our planet more liveable for all with our own actions.

Hello everybody, nice to be here!

Yeah it's a good planet to live on. We should keep it that way. I agree if we all do a teeny tiny bit more than what we are currently doing, even that small difference per individual would make a massive difference on a more national or even global scale.

I do compost and also have an indoor worm bin. My community recycles soft plastics and we get a bench for each ton, we are almost at 4 benches. I am trying for a HELPSY bin that will take all the textiles that are clean and not wet. I have a rain barrel and a beautiful garden when the deer don't get in. It works for me.

We all need to play a part in keeping the planet healthy

We should be cleaning up the ocean. What are we leaving to future generations.

It's the only planet we've got, right?

I use a green bin a yellow bin and a rubbish bin.

Who flushes coffee grounds? I've heard of using them in the garden or just straight up throwing them away

Use a composter, egg shells deter snails eating your veggies seedlings & are good for the soil when they decompose. Banana skins great for digging into the ground. Have a worm farm. I used to peel the aluminium off the back of tablet packets (no need now as our chemist takes them back & sends them for recycling) I have a shoe box & they all go in, when it's full I just put them in their bin, which is inside the shop), Any containers I get from bought meals I keep, wash & use them for storage in the freezer. There is so much everyone can do. Let's hear what others do.

Sounds like progress as much as a cannibal eating with a knife and fork is.

Let's do what we can

Just do want you can recycle and use a compost for waste food climate change is not real it a natural progresion thats been going on for thousands of years and it will keep going on even after we have goneEdited 02-Jun-25 07:41am

Let's do simple tasks to maintain the earth clean

Recycling is good but it is still not enough. There should be large companies doing more. The sea life are suffering and there is still waste everywhere.

Recycling has become a full time job in my house…I’m sooo tired of putting the plastics here, and the papers there and the compost over here… OMG, it’s an never ending feat.

Climate change if its real? And i doubt it, its more a natural thing. Humans were prob burning more CO2 100 years back than now. So the earth is always going to change, and from time immorial. We are overdue for an ice-age. Not in my lifetime tho. It will happen again.

Nice pic! I thk most of us do recycle. We do not need to be TOLD constantly. We have had this topic too many times its become so boring.

Wow

Wonder why it took so long for someone to come up with reusable bags. Should have started that years ago. So simple

One, pollution is the basic foundation of climate change. Two, micromanaging of the planet does not work (unless everyone on the planet does it and that is never going to happen). Three, human beings are incapable of doing what is good for the greater good (or history would not repeat itself on this planet). Four, this is a capitalistic planet (profits over people and profits over the environment) and capitalism has existed for at least five hundred years on this planet (human beings are resistance to positive change unless it is going to enrich the rich). Last, la vie est une chienne et puis tu meurs.Edited 03-Jun-25 00:08am

I do all I can now. As I am old, it will not affect me. It is my whanau I am thinking of

Amen please everyone help

no ty

We have to figure out at what point we are overdoing it on planet management, but some of these points are simple and easy.

well I don't believe in climate change but I RECYCLE

Climate change is real we've already seeing the effects. I do my best.

wow

I try to recycle my plastics, either by taking them in or by simply reusing bottles... We are actually now in the process of learning how to make compost for our flower gardens..

I use brown bags for garden waste

I recycle everything I possibly can.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK EVERYONE PLEASE

I use usable bags, I fertile the garden and I used to a compost bin meaning you use old vegetable peels and some grass clippings and water then i leave it for monthe to let it decompose, which I used then use for fertiliser for the plants. It's used to take 10 for a plastics bag to decompose. I even use paper bags for cleaning up after my pets. I need a new compost bin. Reminder everyone we should be more considerate for the planet and its wildlifeEdited 02-Jun-25 01:18am

Haven't used plastic bags in over a decade (started using cloth bags in 2013). I own no car (got rid of mine in 2009). Never drank coffee in my life, this is the EASIEST way to DESTROY your adrenals and kidneys. I walk everywhere. I recycle even though MOST of it ends up in a landfill. I use MINIMAL technology. I keep lights off most of the time. I don't buy plastics. I don't overconsume by shopping daily like lots do. Needles to say...I do MORE than most, yet I KNOW "climates" have always "changed" as ALL is cyclical. And this agenda being pushed is fabricated on purpose. We have actually been in a GLOBAL COOLING PERIOD...when does it end? 2030. What a coincidence that is the same as Agenda 2030. MAN...what a MASSIVE coincidence!!!!! You will notice this "cooling" when "weather" is ALLOWED to be weather, and they are NOT using HAARP ionosphere heaters to raise the temp up.Truth is...most so-called "harmful emissions" get ABSORBED by TREES!! This is called NATURE. Another truth is the global elites want to force us into MORE and MORE of THEIR control....and they do this using "sustainability" as the guise to force us into compliance. Another truth is these same people have been purposely manipulating our weather using HAARP stations strategically located around the world. Those HAARP ionosphere heaters will LITERALLY create "hot spots" in whichever areas they NEED to do so...so they can SAY "temperatures" are rising. Then they use the news, owned by the same elites, to push lies onto us so we "feel bad", while these rules NEVER APPLY TO THEM!! Also, TREES give us OXYGEN. They been CLEAR CUTTING mass amounts of trees...oh, my bad, THEY SAY they are "wildfires", but we know all these are started using DEW's...direct energy weapons...so they CAN get rid of loads of trees, force people OUT of rural areas, etc.The 5G/60 Ghz millimeter wave DOES NOT work as well when trees are present. The trees ABSORB the frequency. And, in case you haven't figured this out...60Ghz is the exact same frequency as the oxygen molecule absorption rate frequency. Meaning..oxygen IS NOT ABLE to bond to your hemoglobin...so your "Cells" will "suffocate". Guess what the 6G tech will attack? Your THYROID. It will inihibit the proper intake of iodine.I hope you all SEE what is going on. THEY want US dead. To put it simply. And THEY will do ANYTHING to achieve their goal...which is "depopulation". And, this simply means MORE people dying per day in the world on average...than there are being born. It's that simple. THEY want this by...2030!! But, by their very own stats, it is not set to occur until around 2050-2060 because WAY MORE people are awake and aware than THEY will ever lead on! They have achieved this in Japan already.I know lots simply "do not care"...but, then they WILL care about certain things. This is the cognitive dissonance the elites want you to have, aka the "model citizen" for them, a fully brainwashed, radical leftist HYPOCRITE. Every single thing pushed by the radical left...which is MOST of MSM, Hellyweird, etc. is ALL rooted in hypocrisy. EVERY SINGLE THING. We have been psychologically trauma bonded to 4 main tools of CONtrol by these elites. Voting for govt at all levels...is one. YOUR vote means YOU CONSENT that you are OK with corruption and fraud to go on! Stop participating. Using big pharma...is another. They know NOTHING of health, nutrition or healing. NOTHING. You play in their sandbox...you WILL fall victim to their lies as all they do is practice the "slow kill" method, while maximizing profits off you in the meantime. Mainstream media...this is the 3rd. Stop ingesting ANY of it. Left is OVERT and radical in the agenda, their ideal. But, the right is CONTROLLED OPPOSITION...seeming to be "different", yet being COVERT using more deception so the same agenda plays out. Escape the left v. right divide...we must awaken TWICE...once to the blatant left lies, but a 2nd time to the controlled opp right...two wings of the SAME BIRD. Finally...organized reLIEgion. ALL organized reLIEgions are IDOLATROUS. God is real..we ALL came from God, but don't be fooled, folks. The Bible is NOT literal fact...but it is ALLEGORICAL truth!! The SAME elites having it "play out" LITERALLY...are doing this TO MOCK YOU!! They were the SAME ONES (jesuits) who overseen the KJV be "adjusted".All in all...do what you can, but just know the "agenda" is a blatant FRAUD...and these elites will stop at nothing to KILL US ALL.It is 2025, folks. If you are not awake and aware to all this radical leftist hypocrisy, than I am sorry but you've been brainwashed and indoctrinated by blatant lies. The psychological trauma bond they control most is akin to us being in an abusive relationship with a narcissist/sociopath. We "stay" invested in the realtionship because "I know I can CHANGE them!" or "Oh, this is the last time, they're going to change, I beLIEve it!". ESCAPE THE RELATIONSHIP, folks. Cut ties with those 4 main tools of CONtrol, or they will keep CONtrolling you through their CONditioning, as they CONvince you to do as they say! See how the word CON comes up so much! Truth is right in front for ALL to see...but, in the land of the BLIND (ignorant), the ONE EYED MAN (the elites, they love their one eye symbology) is KING!! Stop being conned. You're better than them.Edited 02-Jun-25 00:50am

In the days "recycling" was something you did automatically, it was the natural thing to do to use everything up and not throw anything out, things always got a second life during the repurposing stage. Even the washing up water became slop for the pigs, no detergent was used so it was safe .. the carrier of the slop bowl became their best friend. The tin man used to come around and fix the pots or take them away if no longer useable, the Rag Man used to taket he rags and the Bottles and Jars were all collected as well .. we only had one small Dustbin each week to put out. So guess where the "green waste" ended up, yes in the garden.

I agree with all the above

100% agree. I recycle everything I possibly can. Don't have coffee grounds so didn't realise their issue. I would never put them down the toilet - it needs enough cleaning without making it worse! My council also has a separate bin to recycle food scraps etc now so the grounds could go in there maybe.

Me too. We must all do what we can. Its not that hard. Get yourself a worm farm - its amazing what the residue does for improving your garden.
