SUMMARY:Reduce your cost of living\, sustainably!
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to make small changes at home to help save on the rising cost of living and support a more sustainable lifestyle.\n\n\nAre you struggling with the rising cost of living? \nWould you like to learn how to save money by using resources more efficiently? \nDo you enjoy taking action to help protect the environment for future generations? \nBackground \nSustainability can seem like a lot consider and can mean different things in different situations. Sustainability in simple terms means using resources in a way that ensures they are available for future generations\, without harming people or the environment. It’s about finding ways to meet current needs while preserving the planet and its resources for the long term. \nThe United Nations holds sustainability as a key to addressing many global challenges such as\, human rights\, poverty\, climate change\, resource consumption and waste. If you would like to understand more deeply about sustainability on a global scale the United Nations website has published the Sustainable Development Goals. \nWhat to expect \nAt this fun\, interactive workshops you will learn simple and effective ways to reduce resource use at home and save you money at the same time. A wonderful side effect of reducing resource consumption other than saving money\, is that it helps you tread a little more lightly on the planet. If you would like to calculate how many planets worth of resources you are consuming then why not try the online Ecological Footprint Calculator. During the workshop we will have the chance to compare some results\, many people would be surprised at the number of planets their resource consumption requires. \nEach workshop will begin with a brief introduction of what sustainability is and how it relates to our everyday lives. Then we will look at five essential areas of our lives\, food\, waste\, energy\, water and transport. By looking at these areas we will share some easy small steps to living more sustainably. If you are more advanced in your sustainable living journey\, we have some tips to increase your sustainable living even further. \nOrganisations like Transition Australia\, Sustainability Victoria and many other websites such as the Green City Times Online Magazine have great information and updates on new ideas\, community connections\, products and schemes to support living sustainably. \nDisclaimer \nBy participating in this workshop\, you acknowledge that you are aware of the inherent risks involved and voluntarily assume all risks of injury\, damage\, or loss that may occur during the workshop.
