Olivia and Junior want to give their kids the best but their suburban home, piles of toys and overuse of chemical cleaning products may be doing more harm than good. Junior spends longer finding a park outside his work than it takes him to drive there and his fetish for lamps is costing them serious cash. Its time to teach the Tavais plastic is not fantastic and give them an appreciation for nature. With the help from the WA$TED! team, the Tavai Family will save $2,500 in household bills every year, reduce their household footprint from 13 to 5 times the size of their section and reduce their annual carbon dioxide emissions from 9 to 3 tonnes - only just over the average for one person!
