*NEW* Book - UpRiver Franklin
UpRiver reveals the untold stories of over 60 activists who came to the Franklin and Gordon rivers in 1982, and stayed to non-violently defend one of the truly wild places of this earth.

Share the experiences of the people who came and stayed in the harsh wilds of South-West Tasmania for almost nine months — From the smoky campfires, lentil stew, endless rain, and over 1200 arrests, to a change in Federal Government, a High Court battle and bulldozers finally leaving the rugged Tasmanian wilderness — UpRiver weaves together the stories, photos and songs collected from activists from one of the largest co-ordinated direct actions in Australia’s history.

Franklin River activist and researcher Alice Hungerford has created a stunning book that documents the lives of those activists on the front line, confronting the machines brought to destroy this unique landscape.

At a glance:
- Plasticiser & toxin free
- Made from GMO free crops
- Easy to use - just 'pinch and tear'
- Ideal for conserving food
- Microwave safe

Excellent adhesion to containers and itself.
Biobag cling film can be used for all kinds of foods including those with high fat or acid content which conventional film often doesn't handle well. It's also an excellent barrier against micro-organisms and by restricting the flow of oxygen it prevents rapid deterioration of the food.
Excellent odour barrier, preventing taste contamination with other foods. High water vapor transmission rate means that many types of foods stay fresher for longer.

This breakthrough product revolutionises food storage. Performance is excellent.

The material degrades in sunlight, moisture and is consumed by microorganisms found in soil. No dioxins are released if incinerated.

Micropores and Breathing Effect:
Biofilm Cling wrap has cell-like micropores. The product is water resistant, but its micropores permit gasses, such as Hydrogen and Oxygen, to pass through.

Bokashi One: 2-Bucket Starter Kit
Another wonderful invention!
The Bokashi One is a composting system designed to be used in the kitchen.
It's a practical, hygienic and convenient process which utilises food waste to produce a rich juice and nourishing compost which inject life and vitality into your garden.
How does it work?
Food waste is layered with Bokashi One Mix in a Bokashi One Bucket. Due to the air-tight bucket and the micro-organisms present in the Bokashi One Mix, the waste ferments.
The waste does not decompose in the bucket, however, it reduces in volume as its water content drains through the grate at the bottom of the bucket, creating fantastic bokashi juice.
The juice is bursting with micro-organisms and can be diluted and used in the garden and around the home.
When the bucket is full, waste is transferred outside and buried beneath the soil to complete the composting process. Breakdown is rapid thanks to the micro-organisms present in the Bokashi One Mix.

The bins are made from 70% post-consumer recycled plastic and the Bokashi Mix is made in Australia.

Each starter kit includes: 2 Black or 2 White Bokashi One Buckets and 2 bags of Bokashi Mix.

Bokashi One: Mix Only - 1kg
What is Bokashi One Mix and how does it work?
Bokashi One Mix is made using a mixture of wheat bran and rice husks that have been sprayed with a group of effective micro-organisms. These micro-organisms ferment the waste in the bucket, eliminating unpleasant odours. When buried in the soil, the micro-organisms accelerate the breakdown of the waste. These all-natural micro-organisms include lactic acid bacteria, yeasts, photosynthetic bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi. The mix is dried thoroughly so it can be stored for years with no loss of effectiveness. The dry ingredients are a carrier and food source for the micro-organisms, which are dormant when dry in the packaging and activate again when added to your waste.

To be used with Bokashi One Bucket (available separately).
or
It also works well as a starter for your own home compost heap.

Carpet - Mat Medium - Teal
Hand made by Cambodian mothers to help empower them and help them keep their children in school.

Made from T-shirt off-cuts and rice sacks.
450mm x 650mm.
Each rug is unique.

Carpets for Communities works in the Poipet commune, Cambodia on the Thailand border.
Here, many children are at risk of human trafficking and being sold into prostitution as they are on the streets begging or working to support their family. Equally important, by working and begging, they are deprived of an education that would otherwise improve their long-term livelihoods. This ultimately has them trapped in a cycle of poverty.
By teaching the mothers of these children to produce hand-made rugs made from t-shirt off-cuts and rice sacks, the aim is to help break this cycle by empowering the mothers and their families and help them establish their own micro-enterprises, enabling them to earn an income. This allows them to send their children to school, building their education and allowing their family to have a more dignified and prosperous life.

Actual colours may vary from images. Please click on thumbnail to see a more accurate colour chart for this piece although this is only a guide.
