Green Street
What is 'Green Street' ?
The Green Street Program is a sustainability education initiative for residents. It isn't just for streets, but for any active and motivated community group with an interest in improving their quality of life. A community can be a local street, a P&C group or any other group of people who share a common interest.
The program features a series of workshops on lifestyle and environmental topics. Each Green Street program is specially tailored to the needs and interests of the participating community. As a participant, you can have input into the content and format of each workshop.
We are looking for interested communities to participate in the program. To be a successful Green Street, your community needs to be motivated and willing to attend a series of five or six workshops (held monthly). Ideally, the community group should have a core group of three or four members who are willing to work with our staff to promote the program to the rest of the group.
How do we benefit from 'Green Street' participation?
Through the Green Street program you learn about:
- saving money through energy and water conservation
- how your recycling efforts really do make a difference
- cleaning your home with products that don't make you sick
- composting and worm farming
- environmentally friendly transport
- encouraging native animals in your backyard and growing native plants.
