The first series got us thinking about recycling and where our rubbish ends up, but has the #WarOnWaste helped Australians reduce, recycle and reuse? Or, is it a load of rubbish? Those are the questions Craig Reucassel put to a group of ABC Radio Melbourne presenters in the first War on Waste live debate. Team Affirmative; Richelle Hunt, Hilary Harper and Anthony "Lehmo" Lehman, go head to head with Team Negative; Jon Faine, Jacinta Parsons and Sami Shah.

Welcome, recruit! If you’re new to the War on Waste, jump back to episode 1 and join the fray.

Craig and Wendy take a look at how the War on Waste has changed our habits and what still needs to be done to reduce what we throw away.

You might not realise it, but you’re surrounded by plants and animals you can eat – even if you live in a big city!

In this special ladies-only episode of War on Waste, Wendy Harmer and guest host Yumi Stynes explore waste-free ways to manage your period.

The larger your living space, the more stuff – and the more waste! Wendy takes a peek at a tiny house and Craig asks Joost Bakker, how can construction practices change to make it easier to reclaim materials?

The best way to prevent something going to landfill is to never buy it in the first place, but in a world of short-lived electronics and two-for-one deals it can be hard to resist!

The War on Waste podcast is taking a mid-season break while Craig films the second part of the TV series. Keep sending your handy hints to [email protected] and we’ll see you again on the 21st of September.

Six tonnes of clothes are thrown out every ten minutes, so what can we do to change that?
