It’s nice to know our council rates go towards great community events such as the annual Randwick Eco Living Fair. Everything from Permaculture to pony rides, this year’s fair was packed with practical ideas for making your home more environmentally inclined. It was a colourful affair with crowds gathering for workshops, more than 50 exhibitors and guest speakers — very  encouraging to see so many turn out in the name of sustainable living.

So what was there that you readers can draw eco-inspiration from? Take a look at the [rss-cut]clever 3-council ecological footprint program of Go Solar,  Compost Revolution and Sustainability Street – follow the links to find out more about these great initiatives, and don’t be afraid to put pressure on your local council to implement similar programs. Other organisations in attendance worth looking up include Oz Harvest, Sprout Magazine, Sydney Food Fairness Alliance and Animal Liberation.
