Treading Water

February 21st, 2011

It seems almost surreal to think that just weeks ago a vast portion of Brisbane was under water.  It seems almost like it never happened – like a dream.  But for us who weren’t directly hit by the floods we can move on, move back to our lives as they were.  The floods just being a strange frightening occurrence, a once in a lifetime deal.  But for those who were hit, whose possessions were sucked away – their live will be forever altered.   Jason and I wanted to do more – we have been tossing around ideas not really sure which would be most helpful – and then Jacob contacted us about being involved a fundraising event he was organising called Treading Water.  A couple of bands, some giveaways, some way for us all to keep letting people know we care.  I would love it if you all could come – other than listening to some great homegrown music – you will also be able to win a $1000 portrait session with us.  Entry is $10 and will go towards the flood victims – to help rebuild their lives and allow them to move forward.  So mark it in your diaries – at the Lightspace on Thursday 17 March at 6pm and for more info join their facebook page here!

Brush Your Teeth

February 15th, 2011

I know we all try and do our bit for the environment.  Recycling our rubbish, biodegradable laundry liquid, unbleached loo paper (I’m not naming names here but SOME of us try, hey Cath!)  But did you know that in Australia, over 30 million toothbrushes are used and disposed of by each of us each year.  And that the plastic they’re made of won’t break down in our lifetime nor within the lifetime of our children. That is a whole lot of nasty if you ask me.

I recently bought one of these Environmental Toothbrushes and they ROCK!  Invented by a Brisbane dentist (supporting our local economy – TICK), this toothbrush is made from 100% bamboo (one of my favourite plants as you all know because it is in front of my house, along the side of my house and at the back of my house) is 100% biodegradable, environmentally sustainable, does not pollute the environment or contribute to deforestation. Even the packaging is biodegradable.  (um – that would be TICK, TICK, TICK and TICK) PLUS (and for someone like me who loves beautiful things and has been known to stand in the supermarket aisle for too long a time deciding on the colour of her toothbrush) they are lovely to look at and comfortable to hold. (TICK, TICK)

What is the cost of this lovely item you ask?  Well the Environmental Toothbrush is available in a pack of 12 for only $36 and with shipping it works out at about $4 a toothbrush which is comparable to your tricked out versions at the supermarket.  You can buy them here now, and you can thank me and the earth can thank you later.
