Special thanks to our 50+ volunteers, community groups and staff for making our first Sustainable Futures Day a big success. ๐ช๐ฅณ๐
When I think about Sustainability, there are the big headlines that the media likes to focus attention on such as rising temperatures and sea levels and our ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ฝ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐น๐ถ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ via Solar and Batteries, Electric Vehicles, and Net Zero targets. These were definitely featured at our event.
But another important aspect to sustainability is our ๐๐ผ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐๐ตโ๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐. Did you know that humans are currently using the Earthโs natural resources (biocapacity) at 1.7 times faster than our planet can regenerate? Focussing on our own lifestyle as Australians, if everyone on the planet lived like an Australian then we would require 3.8 Earths to meet their needs ๐๐๐๐. Drawing closer to home, ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐๐ฑ๐ป๐ฒ๐ ๐ถ๐ ๐ด๐ผ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ ๐ฟ๐๐ป ๐ผ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ถ๐ป๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐น๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ๐ณ๐ถ๐น๐น ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ ๐ฏ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ด, making it all the more important for us to reduce the waste that we generate.
Unfortunately, I find that ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐๐ฐ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐๐ฒ gets far less media coverage than Climate Change despite its critical role in leading us to a Sustainable Future. Reducing our waste means changes in the way that we purchase๐๏ธ, changes in the way that we generate and dispose of rubbishโป๏ธ, changes to our travel habitsโ๏ธ and and even changes to our choice of food๐. Our stalls on Saturday did cover this theme, though thereโs so much more education to be provided in the coming years.
Anyway we did have a fantastic first year and I look forward to even brighter events in the future! Well done to all involved.
