French for Tuesday

Hi there! My Name’s Mardi.

I’m the founder of French for Tuesday.

I believe we can live a wholehearted sustainable lifestyle when we work together as a community of simple, one-step-at-a-time change. Our local eco-actions is real sustainability for everyday living.

French for Tuesday is grounded in Newcastle, Australia. I empower our local community to live resourcefully for the wellbeing of ourselves and the planet.

Let's get started

What do you want to find today?

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

Together we can live sustainably as our everyday normal. To live a meaningful, resourceful lifestyle today without compromising our future selves and planet.
