Standby power
Recent research has estimated that around 10 per cent of electricity consumed in Australian households is attributed to appliances that are in standby mode. That means that around 10 per cent of your electricity bill may be going towards appliances doing nothing.

1. Land for Wildlife can help you to create a "healthy ecosystem" on your property and move towards sustainable landuse.
2. Lawns provide animals with no shade, shelter, or food, and the runoff from fertilizers and pesticides applied to lawns can contaminate wildlife habitats. Instead of cultivating a sea of grass, consider going 'wild', choose native varieties, imitate natural habitats, and provide animal food sources.
3. Fences can be barriers to wildlife, restricting access to food and shelter. If you have a tall fence, create some small gaps along the bottom through which animals can pass.
4. Clean, fresh water is important to wildlife, especially birds, insects, and amphibians. Not all animals can access a tall pedestal birdbath, so consider installing a low, ground-level birdbath or small pond.
