Fret not if you don’t have time to take
care of your plants – let self-watering

soil moist through the week. Just leave
water in the self-watering insert and
the pot will handle the rest.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING REUSE
WASTE NOT
Every household needs a sturdy set of reusable
containers as a sustainable substitute for takeaway
boxes. These microwave-safe JÄMKA food containers
are ideal for storing cheese, ham, fresh fruits and
leftovers. They can even be stacked inside one
another if you’re low on space.
Cut back on daily wastage – and your carbon footprint
– with these easy ways to reuse, reduce and recycle.
• JÄMKA Food container with lid, set of 4, $4.50
0.3l and 0.5l. L20xW14, H4cm, and L20xW14, H6cm.
REDUCE
Squeeze in some legwork and reduce your carbon footprint by switching
up your transport routine with the lightweight SLADDA BICYCLE.
Its rustproof aluminium body comes fitted with an automatic two-
gear system, plus a 25-year guarantee on the frame and a ten-year
guarantee on the belt drive – it’s a worthy investment for a cheaper
alternative to getting ’round.
Pressed for time? Packing a home-cooked meal for work isn’t a pain
when you use the VÄRDESÄTTA pressure cooker, which cuts your
cooking time by up to 50% – and therefore uses less energy – while
preserving the nutrients (and flavours) in your food.
• SLADDA BICYCLE IKEA FAMILY price $699 L148xW78, H20cm.
VÄRDESÄTTA pressure cooker $69-$89 4l and 6l. L43xW28,

RECYCLE
Recycling is simple with the stackable SORTERA
waste sorting bins. Dedicate one bin to a material
– glass, paper and plastic are good starts – then
chuck your waste into the respective bins. So the
next time you make the trip to the recycling bins,
your waste would have already been sorted.
