French for Tuesday

Hi there! My name’s Mardi. I’m the founder of French for Tuesday.

Why the unique name? “Mardi” is a day of the week in the French language….ahhhh! Everything you find here is totally a 100% Australian eco-living experience! Welcome!

Let’s simplify living sustainably together by rethinking our everyday to help us tread lightly and more resourcefully.

French for Tuesday is grounded in Newcastle, Australia. Join me as I share stories of our local community grassroots change-makers who genuinely help the wellbeing of people and planet.

Let's get started

What do you want to find today?

Our mindful actions flow on 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 mindfully and resourcefully today without compromising ourselves and planet down the track.

Start here by attending one of my workshops, reading stories on my blog or choosing to purchase from my online shop (with Australia wide delivery).
