CONTINUED A2 Consuming the planet 2. Find the good news stories! Working in small groups, find a ‘good news story’ about what is being done in your local community to encourage sustainable consumption. For example, www.mefl.com.au/household/ project/14, will lead to the successful Sustainability Street project below. Decide which of the organisations you would like to contact. Request an interview with the Education Officer or other suitable person. Prepare a visual display or design a webpage for the class on the organisation and suggest ways in which the school could assist with the organisation’s environmental initiatives. The class as a whole could decide on one particular action they would like to follow up, then using appropriate software, create a project plan with timelines, and then report to the whole school when the project is completed. Sustainability Street. Berry St, Reynard St, Ewen St and Deakin St, Moreland City Council Area Summary - Sustainability Street is an exciting community development and environmental program where local communities get together to learn a bit about ecological sustainability and then do what they can to encourage, assist or “teach” other individuals or communities to join the groundswell. Sustainability Street is helping people transform their homes and neighbourhoods into sustainable green environments. It’s a great success because of the sense of community and ‘localness’, and the emphasis on having fun. Everyone wants to create a safer and healthier living environment for themselves and their children and this initiative is helping to achieve that. It’s a social initiative where the best outcomes for the community can be realised by bringing people together with a variety of knowledge and resources. consumer affairs victoria 27 Need consumer help? 1300 55 81 81 www.consumer.vic.gov.au
