If you're a subscriber to Planet Ark's positive environmental newsletter, you may be familiar with our "Everyday Enviro with Elise" column. Contributing writer Elise Catterall brings you expert practical advice for everyday sustainable living.
This year's topics have covered a wide range of topics from light pollution, choosing the most environmentally friendly cat litter and why you really need to put down the petroleum jelly and use something natural.
Big thanks to Elise for taking the time to extensively investigate big topics to make them more accessible and share so many interesting resources with readers.
Petroleum jelly has been popular for decades in Australia, but have you ever stopped to think about how the bathroom cupboard staple is made? Elise investigates its impacts and suggests some natural alternatives.
Not all lightbulbs are created equal. So how do you determine the impact of the bulbs in your home and find the best alternatives? Find out as Elise explores the best (and worst) lightbulb options for your budget and the environment.
Elise reflects on four years of writing Everyday Enviro and why it's never too late or too little to start being friendlier to the planet, whether you are just getting started on your sustainability journey or ready to take the next step.
Go to any supermarket and you will find a bunch of options when it comes to cat litter, but which one is best for the environment? Elise investigates the most common types on the market and makes some recommendations.
Why brighter isn't always better
Elise reviews the environmental impact of light pollution, how this impacts our sleep patterns, the detrimental effect it has on wildlife and shares ideas on how you can reduce light pollution in your neighbourhood.
