Firstly, I would just like to let you know that Episode 100 is rapidly approaching. It is going to be a massive show, and it will focus on listener questions. So don’t be shy. Send in a sustainable living question or a message for Kim and I using the widget below, and we will play it and/or answer the question on the 100th show. I am really looking forward to this milestone event in two weeks time.
This episode is a roundup of sustainable living events that I will be speaking or manning a stall at or visiting in the next two months. I also talk a little about the yearly Sustainable Living Festival here in Melbourne.
I talked about the following events;
- Melton City Energy and Sustainability Expo, Saturday 31st January 2015. More information Environment and Sustainability Expo flyer A4.
- Macedon Ranges Sustainable Living Festival, Saturday 28th February 2015. More information Macedon Ranges Sustainable Living Festival.
- The main Sustainable Living Festival for the year will be held from 7th February to 1st March 2015. You can find more infomation at their site www.slf.org.au
I also chat about some of the happenings around here, and new products in our shop www.littlegreenworkshops.com.au. We have been so busy making and putting up new products lines, including preserving kits and equipment, handmade soap, and soy melts. Add that to all the other kits, supplies, and equipment that we have available for Cheese, Soap, and Soy Candle making, we haven’t had time to scratch ourselves! Starting a small business is not for the faint hearted.
So, we hope you can get to some of these sustainable living events and drop in and say gidday. Most are free and very educational. I would love to meet you.
February is the busiest month in the sustainability calendar here in Victoria. I love it, because it recharges my internal green batteries, and puts me on the path again for another year of our journey. Without these types of events, I think I would feel a little lost, and a little alone.
Another sort of related fair you mightn’t be aware of is the Lost Trades Fair. https://www.facebook.com/losttrades I’ve got our tickets to this one and can’t wait to go. Many of the old trades work hand in hand with sustainability – mend the broken chair instead of buying more if you know what I mean. 🙂
Hoping to get to the sustainable living festival again this year. I had a great time last year. Hopping to make the Macedon ranges one too. Might see you there. 🙂
Going to have to go shopping too. Candle making kits are in our future. 🙂
That lost trades fair looks amazing. I will have to check if we are free that weekend, because it would be great to take the family to.
It would be great to catch up at the SLF. I don’t think that the Big Event at Fed Square is on this year, something to do with Cricket. So the Macedon event will be pretty big I think.
