Environment Victoria and Council of the Aging (COTA) are hosting a Sustainable Living Festival event this weekend on Saturday, 25 February from 12 noon to 3.30pm, to highlight the environmental activities that are taking place in the heart of Carlton.

Opening our native forests to the bioenergy market will be 'all pain for no gain', according to a leading Australian economist and forestry expert.

This weekend, 3 and 4 September, the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) together with Warringah Council will be holding a Household Chemical CleanOut event at Frenchs Forest.

Come and help your local environment by planting native plants. These plants will provide habitat for local wildlife as well as help reduce the impacts of climate change.

Womad EARTH STATION, an exciting new arts and sustainability event, will be held at Long Gully in Belair National Park, Adelaide, from 21-23 October.

The festival will bring together an international performance program and an engaging series of forums and discussion panels – 'the Sustainability Program' - which will receive and transmit concerns and ideas for sustainable life on our planet.

The IT & Sustainable/Renewable Energy Expo is a great chance to keep in touch with new technologies available now.

Solar and wind technologies, IT software & hardware options, plus much more.

Many local IT and energy providers will be at the Expo to exhibit and demonstrate their products and services.

Mr Hampton said the Djirurri Rockshelter located at Wellington Range in West Arnhem Land and the 88 Mile Burrell Creek WWII Chemical Warfare Storage and Maintenance Depot and Camp sites have been declared heritage places.
