Whitehorse Sustainable Living Week
Council’s annual week-long Sustainable Living Week runs from 24-30 March 2012 and aims to encourage people to live in a sustainable way to ensure a greater future for the planet and its inhabitants.
This year’s Sustainable Living Week theme is ‘affordable and practical sustainable solutions for everyday living’. Keeping in line with this theme, Council will be offering a number of workshops to teach people cost effective, simple and easy ways to live sustainably.
The popular Permaculture Blitz competition returns this year to makeover a shared space in Whitehorse, where a group of volunteers will work together for one afternoon to create a dream kitchen garden. Other events include the annual Whitehorse Sustainability Awards and Discarded Recycled Art Competition.
The Whitehorse Sustainability Awards will be held once again. The awards reward and recognise local residents, schools, community groups and business for their efforts in building socially connected communities and leading sustainable lifestyles.
As well as these exciting events, Council will also offer a range of other activities that will provide affordable and practical sustainable solutions for everyday living. A full list of events to celebrate Sustainable Living Week 2012 will be provided in the Whitehorse News March edition.
