Workshops that don’t cost the earth - Media releaseLast modified: March 13, 2008 - 3:52 PM
Port Stephens Council will kick-off a series of free sustainable living workshops commencing in late March and running until the end of the year.
Speaking today Port Stephens Mayor, Councillor Ron Swan said the focus of the workshops was to demonstrate simple ways to make real changes for the environment. “These workshops form part of Council’s broader objectives on environmental sustainability,” he said. “Port Stephens Council is determined to be a leader in this area. We are focused on reducing the amount of power we waste, and in doing so, encourage our community to do likewise.” Also speaking today, Environmental Education and Sustainability Officer Melinda Anderson said the course topics were wide-ranging with a focus on participation. “These workshops will provide the tools and know-how for people to save money and help save the earth,” she said. “The workshops are very hands-on, allowing participants to learn in a practical and enjoyable way.” “Importantly, the workshops are restricted in size to allow for an informal and relaxed presentation, so people will need book. They can do so by phone on 49 800 251 or email melinda.anderson@portstephens.nsw.gov.au” Details of the initial workshops are as follows:
