Most ribbon is made from plastic and is sent to landfill after only one use, never biodegrades and can cause damage to animals and ecosystems if it finds its way into natural environments (e.g. the ocean). ⠀ . ⠀ WE HAVE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE! This colourful ribbon is made from natural fibres that are strong enough to reuse many times and compost at the end of its life 🌿 These gorgeous designs are made by a small, independent and sustainable company. The ribbon comes on a recycled cardboard spool.⠀ . ⠀ Make the switch to eco-friendly gift wrapping today! Find this natural ribbon and many more sustainable gift-wrapping solutions in our Vic Park and online store.⠀ Free click-and-collect and Australia-wide shipping available.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #urbanrevolutionaries #fortheearth #giftwrapping #giftwrappingideas #giftwrappinginspiration #giftideas #christmasgifts #christmasideas #christmasdecorations #sustainableproducts #zerowaste #zerowasteperth #zerowasteaustralia #plasticfree #plasticfreeaustralia #plasticfreechristmas #lowwaste #plasticfreeideas #plasticfreetips #zerowastetips #ecofriendlytips #ecofriendlygifts #ecofriendlygiftwrapping

NEW VEGAN DEODORANT IN STORE! 🌿 ⠀ . ⠀ We'd say No Pong deodorant is one of the most popular and sought-after natural personal care products in Australia, for both men and women. We've only had good feedback from these products. And now we have their new vegan option available - woohoo! ⠀ . ⠀ No Pong's first two options (original and bicarb-free) both contain beeswax, but not this new recipe. Find all three of these awesome products in our Vic Park store. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #vegan #veganproduct #veganpersonalcare #vegandeodorant #nopong #veganzerowaste #zerowaste #zerowasteperth #vegansinperth #perthvegans #perthvegan #perthveganproducts #perthveganoptions #veganlife #plantbased

Checkout these awesome recycling/reusing stations from @consciousfish and @theorganisingplatform - love them! ♻️ ⠀ . ⠀ Setting up places where your reusable and recyclable items belong is key to making the process easy for the whole family. Research which recycling drop-offs you’re going to commit to (e.g. curbside bin, REDcycle, containers for change, @greenbatch, @terracycleaus etc.) and make clearly labeled boxes corresponding to those streams. Then you can recycle as you go and drop off each box as they fill up. Easy and effective! ⠀ . ⠀ We have a Terracycle recycling station at our Vic Park store where you can recycle all kinds of hard-to-recycle items like pens, spray lids, air fresheners and more. See our website for a full list of our collections.⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #recycleright #recycling #reducereuserecycle #recyclingstation #perthrecycling #nationalrecyclingweek #nationalrecyclingweek2020 #recycledmaterials #recycle

🌧️ Its a glorious rainy day here in Perth and we've been out in the garden enjoying the smell of damp earth and the sparkling of the raindrops on the leaves. Wet weather doesn't have to stop you from gardening, there's lots of ways to enjoy the wild weather:⠀ ☀️Find a sheltered spot or retreat to the garden shed and get busy potting up some seeds.⠀ ☀️Many soil additions benefit from being watered in, so if there's a break in the showers then seize the moment to apply soil treatments such as seaweed or Bokashi juice. ⠀ ☀️Draw up a garden plan - start by marking out your current plants and identifying different species, before thinking ahead and mapping out your dream garden design.⠀ ⠀ What have you been doing in the garden today?

@urbanrevaus

So great to see this update on how @littlepatchofperth’s potato plants are going! 🤩👏⠀ . ⠀ Once the leafy plant dies back, there’ll be a whole bag of potatoes waiting to be harvested underneath 😋⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #potato #growpotatoes #potatogrowbag #urbanrevolutionaries #perthgardening #veggiegarden #veggiegardening #ediblegarden #growfood #potatogrowing #spudlife #perthgardener #perthgardeners

We’ve got garden tools from big to small! ⠀ . ⠀ You’ve probably seen quite a few of our smaller tools on our social media but it’s harder to take good photos of the bigger items 😅 Here’s a great one of Dan with our coconut fibre outdoor broom and our manure fork - both made from sustainable and high-quality materials 🙌⠀ . ⠀ Our bigger items are difficult to ship so unfortunately these ones are only available in store. We’ve had great feedback from both though - people love using these beautifully crafted and eco-friendly tools 💚⠀ ⠀ #plasticfree #plasticfreeperth #plasticfreegardening #urbanrevolutionaries #fortheearth #zerowaste #zerowastegardening #gardentools #plasticfreebroom #coconutfibre #compostableproducts
