My Council has put sustainability firmly on the agenda, and we want to " . . . support individual practical actions to live sustainably."

A new menu in the Environment section of the Council's website goes to pages which include:

• sustainability and climate change


• sustainability at home
• advice on energy efficient appliances and fixtures
• water saving tips
• house design; and
• information on renewable energy.


The site also includes a calendar of events for the next couple of months with such dates as the Tropical Green Building Network meetings, Landcare week, National Tree Planting day, working bees for the Machans Community Garden etc. Check it out. http://cairns.qld.gov.au/content/Sustainability/SustainabilityandClimateChange.htm
