In Hobart, Tasmania, Lauren & Oberon Carter and their three daughters have been making lifestyle changes towards producing almost no rubbish – they’ve only filled one small jar with waste in two years!

They’ve been able to do this though a combination of small changes, from buying food in bulk, bringing their own containers and bags to shops, buying locally grown food from the market, composting their food scraps and pet poo, and buying secondhand clothes made from natural fibres.

Videos like this one must be part of the school curriculum. Our kids need to watch them.
