French for Tuesday

Hi there! My Name’s Mardi.

I’m the founder of French for Tuesday.

I believe a low tox sustainable lifestyle is possible when we work together as a community to see how our small steps of change makes a positive impact on our place and ourselves.

French for Tuesday is grounded in Newcastle (Australia). I empower our local community to live resourcefully, creatively, and sustainably for the wellbeing of people and planet.

Let's get started

What do you want to find today?

For us to live a wholehearted, low tox sustainable lifestyle, we need to do simple change. With small, local actions we can live resourcefully for the wellbeing of ourselves and the planet.

Our mindful actions flow in to our immediate community, which impacts upon our national environmental footprint, which then impacts upon the biggie – our planet.

We can do eco-friendly change together. Start by attending one of my workshops, reading stories on my blog or choosing to purchase from my online shop (with Australia wide delivery).
