Re: Energy Reduction in Offices

Arup has won at least one award for the work they have done internally on this. They have TV screens in all of their tea-rooms showing real-time data for things like their flights, computers left on over night, paper consumption etc as well as public transport information. See this link for more.

Re: Promoting Community Watershed Awareness
2011-03-02 17:15:23 UTC
Hi Marc. Brisbane City Council does this quite well. We have the usual stencils on drains, a Mountains to Mangroves programme, many signs around the suburbs that announce you are now entering the xxx catchment. The creeks also have very active community groups that revegetate & care for them. The link to the council website is below:

Re: Washable Diaper Barriers
2010-03-17 18:14:22 UTC
Hi. I recommend starting with the hospitals. 10-15 years ago in Australia the midwives would show you how to fold and put on a cloth nappy while you were still in hospital with your new-born. Now they give you a pack of Huggies. Much less washing for them but it doesn't equip a new parent to try anything different. The fitted washable nappies are also reasonably expensive to buy if you then decide it's not going to work in your family.
I would also recommend making the book 'The Diaper Free Baby' available as a resource in child health clinics etc. Until I read this book (with my second child)it didn't occur to me that babies could be out of nappies at such a young age.
