Have you wondered how you can make your life more sustainable? Do you want to feel empowered to respond positively to issues like climate change? Do you want to improve your health, wellbeing and sense of community?

In this interactive presentation Gav will take us through how to set goals and make change for simpler and more sustainable living, within both home and community. His approach is based on Living Smart, an award-winning, action-based community education program.

Topics and tips include:

waste
household energy
gardening for biodiversity
food
transport
personal health

“It’s all too easy to feel powerless & just do nothing. Living Smart taught me that even one person can make a difference while having fun, building community, making friends, as well as saving money. ” - LivingSmart approach testimonial
