SYDNEY, April 26, 2024: Composting’s role in the fight against climate change will be in focus during International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW), to be held from May 5-11 in Australia. Amid the increasing frequency of extreme weather events such as flooding, droughts or bushfires, composting offers a practical, hands-on response to climate change mitigation where every household can join the global effort. “As a community we can all contribute to a healthy planet by keeping food scraps away from landfill and one of the ways is through composting,” says Chris Rochfort, CEO of the Centre for Organic Research & Education (CORE). “Composting can help reduce landfill methane emissions and restoring soil health, which will help build resilience to climate change, reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers, and sequester carbon by removing it from the atmosphere.” Composting can benefit the climate in many ways.
Thank you for posting this, it is what our account is trying to address to the people of Mastodon to make them understand that by doing this simple action, they can make a difference.

Sustainable House Day is back with in-person home tours, and bigger than ever!
You can now explore this year’s featured homes, and make a booking for in-person open home tours - from a straw bale house on the west coast that feels like a warm hug, to a bushfire resilient home with sprawling views of the Tasman Peninsula in Tasmania!
A majority of the homes are opening in-person. For the safety and comfort of visitors and homeowners, places are strictly limited to timed sessions throughout the day - that do require a booking. Don’t miss out! #sustainability

The Sewing machine mechanic was delighted to service this new-to-me Elna Automatic 1959 model. He said it sews like a dream, and it really does. Only done half an hour or so with it, but already I am in love with the knee lever thingy.

In the playcentre garden we put in a birdbath. I found a terracotta dragon in the garden and put it in the middle. The kids love it, especially because the dragon is hollow, so when you fill the birdbath the dragon blows bubbles! But yesterday the parrots were lining up for the birdbath, and the kids were watching them, and the teachers rushing out in the 41C heat to add ice and water every few hours!
