Now in its fourth year, there is an array of activities to inspire, engage and empower across a variety of venues, most free of charge, beginning on Wednesday with a Wildflower Walk ‘n’ Talk at Castle Creek Conservation Reserve and ending on November 30 with a renewable energy forum in Thurgoona.
If you’re itching for practical, money-saving actions, you’ll love the shoe and toy swaps, boomerang bags sewing bee, decluttering workshop, beeswax food wraps demo and progressive discussion on women’s business: natural alternatives to monthly disposables.
If it is gardening and sampling you enjoy, we have a native nursery tour, bush tucker tour and lunch, Bhutanese community farm walk, talk and taste and a screening of Academy Award nominated Food Inc.
Ever wonder what happens to your bin contents after they get carted from the kerbside? Then book a berth on the Albury Waste Management Centre Recycling Tour.
Be inspired to build well and attend the International Earth Building Conference, a tour at Elmwood Living Estate or a tiny house design workshop.
Arts and cultural activities include a sustainable photography competition and exhibition, Lorax drama workshop for 7- to 17-year-olds and a quirky soap opera art exhibition.
The Sustainable Living Fair at Junction Square November 18 features dozens of stalls, two tiny house experiences, electric cars and bikes, informative talks, Julie Goodwin cooking demonstration and a clothes swap.
From 10am to noon, you can even book 15-minute speed dates with our energy, building and garden design experts. Bring your electricity bills or house and garden plans to make the most of your ‘date’.
For the children, there’s planting take-home seedlings, table tennis, giant Jenga and a wishbone rally tricycle course.
