logoBeing the sceptic I am, I sometimes find these high profile events a little awkward and token, wondering if they help much in the long run, but every little helps, especially in the battle to convince the masses, maybe a bit of competition is what’s needed…

So if you’re not doing just about all you can anyway, then sign up to Enviroweek and do something extra from Oct 11th – 17th

Green Renters@ The Melbourne Social Forum!

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009
We had a wonderful but tiring weekend at the Melbourne Social Forum ( We were part of the organising team) and I am starting to think about some new creative ideas, ways for social and environmental engagement, voluntary simplicity and lots more…stay tuned..
We presented a workshop on ways to be environmentally friendly when you are on a low income and/or live in rental accomodation and had a stall promoting Green Renters.

Here’s my buddy Lisa who tirelessly worked on our stall on Saturday while we were running around doing organising duties. She got her face painted green to celebrate green renting! Hurrah!

‘I Want to Live Here’ film comp is a step forward in exploring the intricacies of our housing crisis. We want the competition to reflect economics as essential, interesting and accessible to all.

The dream of owning a house is becoming a distant reality for more and more people. Affordable rent has become a world wide issue. Land is a basic human right for all.The good news is we can do something about it! The film competition asks you to explore the issues near you and present them in a fun and interesting format.
