According to a recent, self-conducted survey, @EndeavourCollege found almost half (46%) of participants cared more about their health now than before the pandemic. Almost two-thirds (61%) wanted to learn more about health to better care for themselves and their loved ones. It led to the college launching its first suite of short courses (@EndeavourShortCourses) – designed to be “relevant and life-applicable” while also empowering students to “take control of [their] own learning”.

In this new series, created in partnership with our good friends at @EndeavourCollege, we’re taking a deep dive into these short courses – to learn more about what the suites entail and expand our knowledge from credible sources. The first of Endeavour’s four suites is nutrition, so we caught up with program manager, environmental scientist and accredited nutritionist, Sophie Scott (@FitAndFedAu) to dive into her world and dispel some common nutrition myths and misconceptions.

Happy Sunday sweet readers. We'd love to have a chat and hear your thoughts – maybe something in our last issue tickled your fancy, possibly you've got some top eco tips for our readers or maybe you'd just like to have a little rant about a topic close to your heart. ⁠

Whether we care to admit it, it’s often beautiful design – or perhaps an evocative description on the back of the label – that is most likely to guide our buying decisions at the bottle shop. But as the true environmental impact of winemaking is further quantified, there’s growing reason to take a closer look at the fine print and consider your wine’s environmental credentials.

In this series – created in partnership with our good friends at @YalumbaWine to celebrate the launch of their GEN collection of five ACO-certified, sustainably made wines – we’re doing a deep dive into some of the industry’s most pressing issues. In part one, we investigated the real meaning of ‘organic wine’. In the second of the series, we pose the question: Why is sustainability in winemaking so important?

If there’s one thing better than curling up in your favourite nook with a page-turner of a book, it’d be gushing about your latest read with your closest friends. As JD Salinger’s protagonist says in The Catcher in the Rye, “What really knocks me out is a book that, when you're all done reading it, you wish the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call him up on the phone whenever you felt like it. That doesn’t happen much though." ⁠
⁠
With the idea of promoting good books, good reading and good conversations, we’ve started a #PeppermintBookClub – a space where each month we ask one of our favourite independent bookstores to curate a list of recommendations and tell us why they love them. ⁠
⁠
@WellRead__ is a curated book subscription and gifting service dedicated to delivering the very best new literary titles direct to your door. Co-founder @LauraBrading is a former bookseller and publishing professional who has set herself up in the enviable position of reading mountains of new releases in order to cherry-pick the most interesting and exciting books to share. ⁠
⁠
At the link in our bio, she shares her 10 picks for books to kickstart your reading in 2023. ⁠

Peppermint acknowledges the Turrbal and Yugara people as the traditional owners of the land on which we live and work. We pay our respects to their elders past, present and emerging, recognising that these lands have always been places of storytelling.⁠
⁠
We will be working today while turning our minds toward the hard work that must be done on these Stolen Lands for Makarrata. Take the opportunity to decolonise your social media feed, educate yourself and listen to the words of Indigenous writers and thinkers on the problems of 26 January and First Nations history. ⁠
