Straight Road to Sustainability

Sustainability Street in Penrith continues to grow, with our two newest streets about to get started. The Straight Road in Mulgoa and Penrith City Garden Club will hold their first meetings on Saturday 28 July and bring the total number of Sustainability Streets within the Penrith LGA to six! Who knows where it will all end - hopefully one day there will be Sustainability Street signs all over Penrith and thousands of people working together on real grass roots sustainability.

There's definitely a lot of excitement in the air with recent media articles in both the Penrith Press and Western Weekender adding to the interest. Vanessa Steele, of Blue Organics, will be working closely with both groups on the Sustainability Street project and be putting together some great workshops. Vanessa (left in the green singlet) is really looking forward to getting started and has some great ideas for practical green living.


I'm sure you will be hearing a lot more about what these two groups are up to over the coming months as they take the Sustainability Street challenge. If you are keen to find out the latest information on all of our Sustainability Streets you can sign up to receive the newsletter - just email Carmel Hamilton and provide your details. Better yet, why not come along to the Sustainability Street sessions and have some fun while you save the earth- contact Carmel for more details.
