Trying Veganuary

Waterwise By Stephanie Hurry

This year I decided to go Vegan for January to challenge myself and reduce my environmental impact.  Reducing meat consumption is one of the ways we can help the climate change conversations as well as save water due to certain meat products having very high water and carbon footprints. According to Veganuary – by going vegan for January those that have taken part will have collectively saved 2.5 million litres of water* – Now that is a stat that’s hard to ignore!

Waterwise ‘Save water with food sharing apps

Team members at Waterwise have been getting into a fantastic food-sharing app called Olio, which connects neighbours with each other to share unwanted food items so that they don’t go to waste. Amongst other benefits of saving food from being thrown away, according to Olio, more than 400 million litres of water have been saved through people using the app! We recommend going to the Olio website at olioex.com and watching their video on how food sharing can help us to fight climate change!’
