A lot of rubbish near the bus stops in the Link road area. Will take a couple of trips to clean it all up.

Hi there! This is my first post. I love to have fun recycling and turning trash into treasure! I am a Nurse and over the past 18 months I have been saving all the lids off the vaccine vials. The purple lids are from Pfizer vaccines. I then made a mosaic of the Walter Taylor Bridge in Indooroopilly which is opposite my work. To me it symbolises that we are protecting the people of Indooroopilly. However, i took it to a recent school fair and the kids thought it was a castle!

Serious plastic wastes in ocean and global warming issue. Ocean produce 50 percent of the oxygen yet it is becoming acidic by breaking down plastics thrown into ocean and this causes death of many marine animals and reefs. It is also disrupting the ocean's natural ability to absorb carbon and release oxygen at its regular rate.

I find picking up rubbish therapeutic; it’s exercise, outdoors, an activity that is mildly stimulating (“what is that???”) but repetitive so it’s calming, and I know I’m doing good for the environment. 148 pieces picked up that won’t get into our streams and ocean. 💪❤️

Visited the biobasin and removed numerous baby glycine vines, and 3 large ones that were starting to cover the lomandras on the western side. Otherwise it is looking really healthy!

Revisited the Biobasin after some recent rain. More rubbish had been washed into the basin. Lots of plastic sadly.

I have planted 10 baby paper bark trees 3 years ago. Now they are flowering. And some tree leaves get eaten by caterpillars, contributing to pretty butterflies. But soon new leaves come out. Please check out the photos. Thank you for reading.

I removed the last remaining large glycine vines from the lomandras in the biobasin. If these were left unchecked they’d overgrow all the vegetation. Doing this service frees up Brisbane City Councils time and money, but also saves vital biodiversity from being killed. Removing weeds by hand, by root also saves the use of poison.

On a recent trip to London, it was interesting to see a particular individual in the centre of London fight for the cause of biodegradable sustainable products in lieu of polyester and plastics. It seemed to be his own individual pursuit and it was peaceful in nature, but his points were duly noted by all passer-by's. Green Brand portrays a similar message, but the reach is far wider. Support this platform with your actions!

There is a worldwide push to plant more trees and vegetation in cities like London to not only cool temperatures but increase biodiversity. London has 21% tree cover, with the mayor committing to increase this by 10%. Involving the residents helps by not only reducing the costs of helping keep the plants alive, but improves their care and community ownership. This story’s photos show a newly planted tree and a request for locals to care for it. Another role this platform can perform!!

On my recent trip to London I came across many different examples of making a difference, at an individual and business level. One of the first was the Oakleigh House Dental Practice, which has created a flower garden to encourage plant and insect biodiversity. Their website also has a great history of the house and area.

While waiting for my flight home I caught up with my mate Emmett who works at Sky HQ campus. How impressive are the grounds!! Full of native flowers, trees, insects and butterflies. Well done Sky!
