green+ garden guide The Coast is blessed with an abundant natural environment, but we cannot take this for granted. We need to live sustainably, not only for us, but for future generations. Plant a tree, recycle, build environmentally and make conscious green choices. Here are the organisations doing it right on the coast.

food for thought‌

If everyone on earth lived like a typical Australian, we would need about four planets to sustain our lifestyle. On average, we Australians each use about 7.6 hectares (or the equivalent of 20 footy ovals) of land to provide all the resources and dispose of all the waste we produce. To live sustainably, we can only afford to be using 1.7 hectares per person.
