      <image:caption>Why do I want to achieve this? (For example, losing weight might be about spending more time in nature or running around with your kids.) What life experiences am I missing out on? What does good health look and feel like for me, and how are things like smoking standing in my way?</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Reducing Waste During the Holiday Season: Thoughtful Ideas for a More Sustainable Christmas - Get creative with your decorations and wrapping! Repurpose gift wrap and paper from previous years, or use recyclable options like plain kraft paper. Add your personal touch with hand-drawn designs, and make sure to remove any plastic stickers or tape before recycling. If you prefer traditional wrapping, look for paper that is free of foil or plastic lining, as these cannot be recycled. Consider exploring Furoshiki, a Japanese art of gift wrapping using cloth. This beautiful and sustainable practice allows the cloth to either be reused or incorporated as part of the gift!</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - Reducing Waste During the Holiday Season: Thoughtful Ideas for a More Sustainable Christmas - 5. Rethink the Christmas Tree Why not skip the traditional Christmas pine tree and opt for something more sustainable? Each year, 120 million trees are cut down around the world ahead of Christmas, and the vast majority of ‘real trees’ being used end up in landfill, producing 16KGs of CO2. Consider visiting a local native nursery like Bush to Bowl and purchasing a potted Woolly Bush or ‘Christmas Bush’ Lilly Pilly to use as your tree. After the holidays, you can plant it in your garden or reuse it year after year. If you prefer something smaller, get creative by making a wooden tree or using string lights to form a tree shape on the wall.</image:title>

      <image:title>Blog - From Convenience to Crisis: How Plastic is Impacting Our World - It’s now common knowledge that plastics last hundreds of years in the environment, and rather than ever completely breaking down, they only break up into smaller and smaller pieces. Microplastics have infiltrated our ecosystems and bodies, with traces found in nearly every sample of human muscle tissue, brain tissue, blood, placenta, and even breast milk. The Guardian even reported plastics found in dolphin breath. Don’t ask us how they sample that!!!</image:title>
