There is a movement that is growing at the moment, which is especially prominent in our awareness on days like today: World Environment Day. Many people seem to want to get their piece of the green action in any way they can. Now for those who are not-so-motivated by money, but a little more on the community side, there are angelic and creative teams of people waiting in the wings to make it happen if you’ll just say the word and give them a bit of earth to play with.
In the local area of iheartgreen there’s a group called Permaculture East (click here to email them) and there’s a video of one of their projects on this site. It’s short and it’s worth a look. Peter Driscoll calls himself “An old geezer tryin’ to do his bit for a better Sydney to live in. Co-convenor of Transition Sydney and Permaculture East” and we heart him for it.
Networks such as these are invaluable in changing the way we look at our environment and teach us to work together. At the risk of stating the obvious, it’s no coincidence that Community and Communicaton share the first 7 letters in common: they’re both crucial to sustainability. Local green-groups are there if you care to find them, and they’re usually closer and more accessible than you may think. Plus, it’s a great way to meet people in your area with shared passions and interests.
Now stop sitting at the computer, and get out there and get your hands dirty people!
