“Each one of us matters, has a role to play, and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for living things around us, especially each other.” Jane Goodall

 Less stuff, more life.

Creating a sustainable life and society, requires we recognise and embrace those qualities that give our life meaning and are prepared to shed old habits that are unsustainable.

Garden Our gardens can bring us closer to understanding the ecosystems that underpin life on this planet and how to live in harmony with the earth.	House and Home Our home and garden can be a healthy Eden of self-sufficiency or a bottomless pit of resource-consuming ecological inefficiency…	Food and Drink Too many pesticides, herbicides and fungicides in your food? Try eating organic.
Products From toilet paper to chairs, jackets to dog leads, there are many recycled products that are excellent quality, so consider buying recycled when you buy.	Services The majority of the services we receive from our governments, health care providers, banks, etc. are configured for financial efficiency (saving money or making it).	Community It is all too easy to feel that the world's problems are so big that you cannot make a difference. It's crucial that we have a sense of 'working together’ on this most important challenge, to live sustainably.
Recreation Recreation is how we relax, reward and inspire ourselves. Careful choices about travel, luxury holidays and recreational toys can ensure we play sustainably too.	Waste The existence of waste is an indicator of inefficiency in the human economy.	Work While most of us have less control over our workplaces than we do over our homes, our commitment to reducing the damage to the environment should not stop when we get to work.
Small & Medium Enterprises SME's are a dynamic and oft under-appreciated part of the Australian economy. The way these businesses consume energy, water and other resources, is critical to our societies ability to transform its economy to a more sustainable level.	Transport Most of us still use the car as our primary mode of transport. However, one-quarter of all car journeys are less than three kilometres.
