Living for our Future program

Workshops, seminars and resources with practical information and advice.

The Living for our Future Program offers workshops and events that provide residents, community groups and Boroondara businesses with practical actions and eco-tips that are simple, efficient and don't cost the earth. Our events and workshops are fun and informative and cover a wide range of sustainability topics including water and energy efficiency, green cleaning, sustainable consumption and sustainable gardening.

The program also includes the Living for our Future Expo, held in March each year, which gives people the opportunity to get advice from experienced suppliers and to purchase products locally that will assist them to live more sustainable lifestyles.

Notes from recent workshops are available to download from the living sustainably page.
