Keep Australia Beautiful Week

Keep Australia Beautiful Week

Here at MyLife, we support all initiatives and charities committed to making our planet a better place for us, the animals and the environment. Keep Australia Beautiful Week takes place once a year, and in 2021 it will run in late August. Established in 1968, Keep Australia Beautiful was Australia’s first sustainable and anti-litter campaigner. Since then, they have been working state based offices and local community groups to raise awareness on how we can all live more sustainably. Their mission is to grow a community of Australians committed to keeping our country beautiful!

How Long Does It Take For Waste To Decompose?

How Long Does It Take For Waste To Decompose?

We had a great response to our fact sheet on the Do’s and Dont’s of composting, so we thought we’d make up another guide about how long it takes for the average, non-compostable waste to fully break down. The results will shock you, but hopefully spark an urge to collectively clean up our act and leave the world a better place for future generations.

Living Sustainably in 2021

Living Sustainably in 2021

Happy Earth Day Bio Lovers! Today we celebrate and advocate for our home, planet Earth. It is up to us to live a more sustainable life to help heal the planet. By adopting a sustainable lifestyle and making a conscious attempt to reduce our use of the earth’s natural resources, we can play our part in making the world a better place for future generations. It’s a daunting prospect, but we’ll start you off here.

National Biodiversity Month

National Biodiversity Month

Biodiversity month is held in September each year to raise awareness about the protection of biodiversity in Australia, and the world. Biodiversity represents the variety of plant and animal life in our world, which we are entirely responsible to protect. We are reminded to stop and think about our environmental impact and what we can do to reduce it.
