Green Renters run workshops for sustainable living in rental property.

We take a room by room tour through the average rental property looking at simple and cost effective ideas that can be implemented in a short amount of time that will help make your property more energy efficient, sustainable and save you money.

We also look at general lifestyle changes, ideas and advice for greening your life.

The workshops are practical and friendly in nature with plenty of visual examples, discussion and samples. They generally run for two hours.

Here’s the line up…

After the successful Green Renters workshop at the Melbourne Social Forum in April we will be starting a run of three at CERES in East Brunswick from the 5th of September.

The workshops are a practical and lively discussion of ideas on greening up your rental property. We step through the typical rental property area by area, looking in detail at what you can do as well as general lifestyle changes. There will be demonstrations and samples of some of our favourite recipes and tutorials to try and take away, showing you just how easy it is to achieve noticeable and tasty results!

Here are the dates :
