    What are your next steps for saving energy?

    This was just a quick one from Origin Energy.
    The goal temperature for heating and cooling across the seasons was something I know about. I also know about the goal for 4 min showers.
    BUT putting lids on the pot and pan when cooking using up to 70% less energy was eye opening.
    ALSO checking my fridge to be between between 3°C and 5°C and your freezer is between -15°C and -18°C. This is an easy one to check and modify when I get home tonight.

    We have a wood boiler which powers radiators in our new house. Heading into our second winter I used this challenge as an opportunity to research options. Our options boil! down to two: 1) Replace wood boiler with an electric one which is typically $15K for a Melbourne family home or 2) Put a split system into the one bedroom which currently doesn't have any heating for $2 - 3K

    Reflecting with the rest of the Eco team we only have a week or so to go before the end. I wanted to log my gardening which is a favourite way to spend time before this challenge. The new behaviours from May 2026 is carving out mindful eating and the joy to discover another person on the team who loves a proper walk.

      Oonagh - so glad to hear that you had a wonderful time in the garden over the weekend - I was crazy on the weekend walked over 17 k's which included a walk around the golf course to the shops and home to mow my neighbours and my lawns - it was great but a little exhausting

      That sounds wonderful Oonagh! Gardening is such a great way to connect with nature and unwind. It’s inspiring to hear about the new mindful eating habits and finding a fellow walking enthusiast on the team, those small joys really make a difference. Looking forward to finishing strong together!

    On Wednesday, Lisa and I went for a beautiful nature walk in the park. We noticed the bottlebrushes in bloom and listened to all the birds.

    What did you learn about indigenous peoples' land management that you can apply in your own life?

    That some of the plants are delicious and that some take a long time to grow. So I need to be more patient.

      One important lesson from many Indigenous land management traditions is to treat land as a living relationship rather than just a resource.
