Water Tube™ Saves Water and Plants

Water Tube™ at work in Tropical Queensland

Foods That May Cause You Problems

There are some experts out there who refuse to eat the following foods.

Easy ways to go green and help save the planet

1. Let your computer have a well-earned rest! If you are going to be away from your machine for over 20 minutes, make sure you leave it in sleep mode. It uses less electricity and is better for the computer.

2. Recycle, recycle, recycle! The government has been encouraging us for a few years now to make sure we put our cans and bottles into the household crates provided so they can be recycled. However, as it is not law many of us still throw them away with the rest of the rubbish. Come on guys, is it really that difficult to separate items into different containers?
