Ethical Living

Living ethically is about being conscious of what you buy, where you buy it from, what are the environmental costs of the raw material, who and were was it produced. All these factors impact the sustainability and ethics of a product or service. You might think you are being more sustainable by buying and using steel pegs, but the embodied energy of steel is 3 times that of wooden pegs! Being conscious of what you buy is thinking about whether you actually need it. Nearly 30 percent of all items purchased in Australia end up in the rubbish without being eaten, worn or used!
