Melbourne In A Box

⁠
For tote bag to have lower global warming potential than a single-use plastic bag it needs to be used 131 times.
⁠
It sounds like a lot, but it really isn't. If you do something like the following once a fortnight than you'd use your tote bag 131+ times in a year. ⁠
⁠
For example: Saturday morning you walk to the shops and grab some bread from (1). Later that day, you go the the shops grab a book from (2), top up on some fruit and veg from (3) plus grab a RAT (4) and some fresh beans from (5). ⁠
⁠
😅 We both know you're not finding a RAT so casually!⁠
⁠
Now add onto this, every other time you'd use it. If you shop for groceries once a week that's another 50+ uses & 180+ in one year. ⁠
⁠
🛍️ paper bags should be used 3 times 🛍️ ⁠
⁠
Google "Report: SC030148" and the study is listed on the first link. ⁠

*Note this is a full study condensed to an instance post and it's also one of many that such studies.

Originally, the Carlton Gardens were surrounded by a timber picket fence, though this had become dilapidated by the time of the announcement of the 1880 International Exhibition.

A cast iron palisade fence was constructed to enclose the Carlton Gardens prior to the opening of the Exhibition in 1880. Only one length of the original fence remains in place. This is that one piece.

There was a competition in '78 to build an iconic landmark for Melbourne. The winner would have received $500,000 in today's money.

The "landmark" was going to be built where Fed Square sits today.

There were 2300+ entries from 24 countries... But in the end there was no winner. Looking at some of these designs, maybe that was a good thing.
