FOUNDER STORY
ABOUT KATE
Do you ever wheel out your weekly bins, and question how you accumulate so much waste?"
My AHA moment came when studying Permaculture. My eyes were opened to a world where there can be
harmony between people and the environment. Permaculture cemented what I had always known, we can
live well with less and value what we have already. I made a conscious decision to change my waste
patterns.
I quickly discovered this to be quite a mission in a consumer driven world where single use is the
norm, plastic is pervasive and there is an environmental cost to everything we own. I was seeing
waste everywhere: packaging, resources, time, opportunity and money. All being wasted. I realised,
if I can change my habits then I can help individuals and businesses to change theirs as well.
VISION
