This came in the mail from the wonderful Sustainability Street project of Vox Bandicoot - a concept which started in Darebin and is spreading around the world!: 

Calling all Westgarth residents …

Let's make Westgarth's streets Sustainability Streets!

Would you like to have friends round the corner, grow your own vegies, or
have fun learning about how to care for our environment whilst saving big
time on bills? People from Westgarth are getting together to chat about
joining in the council's Sustainability Streets program. We'd love you to
join us.

Via Sustainability Streets, other communities have done things like start
community gardens, food cooperatives and frog ponds and run projects with
local schools. After three years, they consistently report 20-30% reduction
in waste, water and energy, and wonderful new connections and friendships
with neighbours and other local groups. We feel that lots of people in
Westgarth will be interested in Sustainability Streets - for themselves,
for the earth and for future generations. If you're one of these people,
or if you'd just like to know what Sustainability Streets is all about,
please come along to this first discussion:

EVENING OF WEDNESDAY JUNE 7
Come at 7pm for a mug of soup or a cuppa with your neighbours. We'll start
at 7:30 and aim to finish by 9.

Venue: Jika Jika Community Centre, cnr Plant and Union Streets, Westgarth

The centre is a child-friendly space and children are very welcome.
RSVPs would be helpful so we know how many to cater for. We'd also like to
hear from you if the time doesn't suit you, or if you need any help to the
gathering (for example, if you need transport).
