Change your Perspective - 1 day a month



After great success and feedback from "The Plastic Diet" we have decided to implement a community based day every month that aims to generate awareness around our actions and get people talking. We have decided to call it the “Todae Monthly Eco-Challenge”

The idea is to have a different challenge every month that only lasts for one day, without being too taxing or compromising, but that will still make a significant difference if everyone gets involved. It will occur on the 1st day of every month to make it easy to remember the date. We would love to get your ideas on what you think may be effective and fun. Please send your ideas to thoughts@todae.com.au



Todae Monthly Eco Challenge December

Recycled Christmas Decorations

We all know how much waste ends up in the landfill over Christmas. There's wrapping paper, Christmas cards and gift tags, ribbon and tinsel, and most of it takes more than 500 years to breakdown. This silly season, we want to challenge you (and ourselves) to a Green Xmas and to make some decorations of your own. It is chance to get creative, add your own 'green' flavour to Xmas and it is a great way to reduce your waste and carbon footprint over Xmas.

See the links below for some ideas.


Christmas Tree Ornaments - how to make a Xmas Bauble from scratch.
Cardboard Xmas Tree - make your own Xmas tree out of recycled cardboard.
Upcycled Xmas Decorations - a creative site on how to make ornaments from CD's, cans and old Xmas cards.

We encourage you to do this exercise with friends and family and get them involved as well. This will make it easier, more fun and the more people that do it, the more impact it will have.

We also encourage you to write to us telling about your experience so we can share it with others.

Good luck,

Danin & The Todae Team
