Reducing Carbon Emissions: A Guide For Architects

Reuse

  • Reuse scrap paper

    "Australians are the second highest waste producers in the world.

    We throw away 3.3 million tonnes of food a year - the equivalent of a quarter of the nations food supply." NSW DECC

  • Put food waste in a worm farm or composting bin - call your local council:

    "Many people think worms are yucky, but in fact they are quite clean. They have no known diseases and their digestive system destroys pathogens. The job they do cannot be compared to anything else. If everyone had a worm farm our compostable garbage would be reduced by 1 tonne per person per year. That's an amazing amount and worms do it all for you. They are really fantastic - so happy worm farming. ABC" Gardening Australia Presenter: Jane Edmanson 2006,
