Penrith Council held their annual Open Day on Saturday 4 August, with the friendly Sustainable Penrith Water Dragon turning up to spread an important message that is close to his (her?) heart - to make Penrith a Sustainable City!
The as yet unnamed Water Dragon made a lot of new friends on the day and was a hit with folks young and old. We are hoping to run a competition to name our mascot in the next couple of months so start thinking of a great name and get ready to enter (you could always include your suggestion in a comment!).
Penrith Council has adopted the Eastern Water Dragon as our symbol for sustainability. The water dragon was chosen because it symbolises all three aspects of sustainability – environmental, social and economic health.
ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH = The Water Dragon is relatively common and lives along the banks of the creeks and waterways all over the Penrith LGA. Finding the water dragons along our waterways is a good indicator of the health of our waterways
SOCIAL HEALTH= Water dragons are also long-living, sociable animals that live together in communities.
ECONOMIC HEALTH = And finally, in Chinese mythology the water dragon is a symbol of well being and prosperity.
