Today I did something a bit different.
You see a week or so ago I received my latest Habitat Magazine. Habitat is the official magazine of one of Australia’s leading environmental groups – the Australian Conservation Foundation (ACF). And the magazine had an insert from the Environment Shop in Melbourne. It was a catalogue of the most wonderful range of environmental products for sustainable living.
As soon as I saw it, I thought, ‘that’s what I’ll do on the show next week. I’ll talk to someone from the environment shop about a number of these different products.” And so that’s what I did.
I spoke to “Bond, Jason Bond”, who knew so much about all of the products.
Off air he said, “this is just talking to a customer and having to explain what the different products are all about”.
It was great fun, and just some of the things we spoke about included:
The Clear Comfort transparent window insulation kit; the Bokashi Bucket, Bio Picnic and Party Plates; Bamboo Nappies – which are ultra soft; the Advanced Energy Meter to check how much energy your different appliances are using; and recycled wedding rings. These aren’t as a result of a divorce. But they are made from melted down, post-consumer 18ct white gold. Now that is something that I’d never have thought of, but is such a great idea.
ACTION OF THE WEEK
Go to www.EnvironmentShop.com.au Check out their products on-line. If they are smaller items that you’re interested in, then no matter where in the world you are, you can buy them on-line from the Environment Shop. And for the heavier, larger items, do a Google search for the product and you might find a local distributor. The Bokashi Bucket for getting rid of your kitchen scraps is something that you can Google for a local distributor. You’ll also find it demonstrated on a You Tube.
Oh and in a few weeks I’m intending to invite the people from Utopian Creations on the program to tell us more about their recycled and eco-friendly jewellry. So watch out for that one.
