Environment
Lets work together as a community, to build awareness of the importance of environmental issues. Our hope is to assist in the preservation of our precious environment for generations to come!
If we all did just a little bit each day to reduce our impact on the environment, it will bring huge benefits for the environmental sustainability of our home, Canberra.
Here are some simple ideas that you can start with today!!
-
Environmentally friendly bags - On your next trip to the Belconnen Fresh Food Markets, why not try out our eye catching new re-usable environmental shopping bags, as an alternative to plastic bags!
-
Walk or Ride - A great way to have fun with the family is to walk or ride bikes together either down by the lake, around the neighbourhood or even the next time you come to the markets.
-
Turn off all unused Electrical Equipment - A great tip to use at home and also helps cut the electricity bill is turning unused electrical items off from the power point.
-
Try to buy products that are kind to the environment next time you are at the supermarket. There are various brands avalaible throughtout your local supermarket.
-
Look for organic fruit and vegetables, meats and foods next time you visit the Belconnen markets. The less chemicals used to harvest and grow our food, the better for you and our environment.
