🚨 News for our USA customers.

SHIPPING SUSPENDED

Unfortunately, with the end of the ‘de minimis’ tariff exemption threshold of $800 for goods entering the US, like many of our fellow Aussie businesses, we have had to make the hard decision to turn off shipping to the USA. 1/ 🪡

Australia leads the world in rooftop solar. Over 4 million homes - or 1 in every 3 - are now generating more energy than the entire coal-powered fleet. Quite the achievement.

The story is different for batteries, with just one in 40 households having battery storage.

But that’s now changing. 1/2

We agree, Todd!

Stop using stuff once! Say no to single use. Say no to that thing on discount you don’t need. Use wisely, reuse regularly, recycle mindfully. 🙌🏼

Hey Aussies!

☀️ Did you know a solar battery rebate is coming?

☀️ Yep, around 30% of the upfront cost of a solar battery will be paid by the federal govt as part of their $2.3 Billion election promise.

☀️ That’s on top of the solar panel rebate, and on top of the schemes some states also have.

Wow. The level of ignorance in this man just doesn’t end, does it? What plastic crisis? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe Trump should get his testicles checked. Because a recent study found 100% of testicles tested in deceased males and canines, had microplastics in them. Hello! 🙄

If so, you’re not alone. Over 5 million roses are sold in Australia every year just for Valentines Day.

But, as with most things, there’s a hidden environmental cost to those blooms you probably don’t know about.
