CUT OUT CARBON

Leave fossil fuels (coal, oil, gas) in the ground.

We visit Anika on her family farm in Broken Hill NSW Wilyakali Country.

To help farmers who grow the food we eat, Anika wants us to Switch to a carbon neutral telco Switch super.

Call our banks (ask if they’re investing in fossil fuels).

Choose carbon neutral suppliers (like Sendle).

TO DO LIST:

1/ Choose banks + super funds that don’t invest in fossil fuels (including gas).

It’s one of the biggest ways we can reduce our carbon footprint.

Many banks have committed to getting out of coal, but what’s your bank’s stance on GAS?

Take the Bank Rank.

Call your bank and ask if they invest your money in gas (a fossil fuel Anika wants left in the ground).

2/ Switch to a carbon neutral telco.

3/ Choose carbon neutral suppliers.

Shopping online?

Choose Sendle parcel delivery.

Sendle offsets the carbon emissions caused by parcel delivery and invests in positive environmental initiatives.

NB: Humanity’s ultimate goal isn’t offsetting carbon emissions. It’s continuously reducing our carbon.

It’s gonna take us all, ya’ll.

EDUCATE GIRLS
If you do ONE THING, make THIS IT!

Supporting girls’ education through non-profit organisations like Plan International: the charity for girls’ equality, is one of the simplest, most overlooked paths to mitigating the climate crisis.

All over the world, girls are leading sustainable farming revolutions.

They’re leading growth in green industries.

They’re leading activism and political change.

From changing their families’ actions to demanding progress on the global stage, girls are at the forefront of the climate revolution.

Girls have the power to transform economies, societies and the planet. But they need education to do it.

By investing in girls’ education, we can unlock girls’ creativity, power, resilience and leadership.

Today’s girls are tomorrow’s leaders, scientists, campaigners and politicians. Educated girls will change the world!

We plotted and charged our 100% electric Nissan LEAF using JET Charge infrastructure and associated apps. So. Much. Fun.

At James + Georgia’s, their JET Charge home-charger powered us up again, a bit like charging your mobile phone.

Alice says EAT MORE VEG

We visit Alice in her kitchen on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria, Bunurong Country.

She reckons plants are good for us, our planet + come in their own packaging!

Filling our plates with local seasonal fruits and vegetables reduces the resources taken to grow, transport + store our foods.

Slatts asks Alice, “why on EARTH would i make my own delicious well priced, healthy salad in a jar and take it to work, when i can buy expensive processed takeaway wrapped in packaging headed for landfill??”

Alice makes Slatts a ‘Jalad’ (Jar Salad) a delicious plant-first lunch to take to work.

TO DO LIST:

• Make a meal making plants the hero.
• Look for the Sendle easter egg (a hidden message in this episode.
• Comment on our Instagram or Facebook for a chance to win The New Joneses party pack).
