Chooseday 31st March, Choose a low-waste Easter 🥚

Good Morning,

Easter is one of the sweetest times of year… but it’s also one of the most waste-heavy. 🍫

From excess packaging to plastic eggs and uneaten treats, it all adds up — quickly.

In Australia alone, we generate over 75 million tonnes of waste each year (Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water). And during peak periods like Easter, household waste can spike, especially from packaging and food.

Globally, around one-third of all food produced is wasted, contributing to unnecessary landfill and emissions (UN Environment Programme).

The good news? A few simple swaps can make a big impact.

🌿 What to choose this Easter break:

→ Plan ahead, buy mindfully

Only purchase what you need to avoid excess (yes… even the chocolate)

→ Get creative with leftovers

Think extra chocolate and hot cross buns repurposed, shared or frozen

→ Be smart with scraps

Turn food waste into stocks or compost where possible

→ Choose low-waste options

Look for minimal packaging and recycle correctly

→ Reuse what you already have

Bring out last year’s baskets, wrapping or decorations

→ Skip the plastic

Swap plastic eggs for a real egg hunt, clues, or reusable alternatives

🥚 Quick tip: If you're grabbing chocolate Easter bunnies from Coles this weekend, the foil is recyclable! Simply scrunch it into a golf ball-sized piece and pop it in your recycling bin.

🐰 Speaking of bunnies…

Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage is Victoria’s first dedicated pet rabbit rescue, run entirely by volunteers.

They provide life-saving care, rehabilitation and rehoming for rabbits who would otherwise face neglect or euthanasia — all without government funding.

Just a small contribution can go a long way:

→ $10 can help sponsor a bale of hay

→ $15 can provide fresh salad greens for rescued rabbits

Support Rabbit Run-Away Orphange today!

This Easter, it’s not just about what we consume — it’s about how we care. That might mean reducing what you throw away… or choosing to give back.

Rabbit Run-Away Orphanage is creating real impact right here in Victoria, giving rescued rabbits the care and second chance they deserve.

This Easter, choose impact that lasts beyond the long weekend.

Happy Chooseday,
