Clean Up Australia Day

Australians bought 118,000 tonnes of plastic drink bottles last year but only recycled 35 per cent of them. The 76,700 tonnes left behind either went to landfill or ended up in our environment as rubbish.

"Clean Up Australia Day on Sunday, March 2, will be a focus for community action to address not just the growing problem of plastic bottle rubbish but greenhouse gas pollution as well," says Ian Kiernan, Clean Up Australia chairman.

Registrations are now open. Anybody can register a Clean Up site and community organisations are also encouraged to get involved by visiting www.cleanup.org.au or calling 1800 CUA DAY (1800 282 329).

"If people used a refillable bottle instead of buying a new one every time they wanted a drink of water, then we would help to reduce the huge amount greenhouse gases created in making and transporting them.

"Recycling is also a simple but effective way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions," Mr Kiernan said.

"Every aluminium can that is collected and recycled saves 767 grams of carbon dioxide which is the equivalent of one wheelie bin of greenhouse gas emissions.

"Climate change is the greatest challenge facing our and future generations. I encourage everyone to take action by registering a Clean Up Day site. Let’s start today to save tomorrow."

Clean Up Australia Day is the largest community event of its kind in Australia and in 2007 an estimated one million people got involved.

Winter Gardening in Muskoka

Hi all, I would like to invite interested people to a day of disscusion (March 15th) around winter gardening and seed saving here at our little farm in Muskoka.
We have had a winter garden for 5 years now and are ready to share the up's and downs of it all. Further to all of that is the whole seed thing which I don't feel we are paying enough attention to, I find that there is still lots of people out there that still find this process a little mystifying. We have been saving seeds and reusing them and sharing them on our farm for about 10 years and will allways have a reserve of seeds.
We can do a little tour of our greenhouse (winter garden) and have a discussion.
We can Check out our root celler and talk about that.
We can discuss the seed saving thing and the posibilities of a little seed bank(co-op?)
If you bring some lunch we can have something to eat.
Call if you are interested.

Weekend Permaculture Design Course in Columbus, Ohio

“Help green the city and prepare for climate change. Build networks of support and empower yourself with the skills of ecological design as we search for the roots of permanent culture”

Description: Over five weekends (Friday evenings, Saturdays and Sundays), we will present the permaculture design curriculum with special emphasis on urban applications, strategies for changing climate and building local networks of support.

The class will implement at least one of the design projects by rehabilitating an old orchard as a forest garden on the 40-acre campus of the United Methodist Children’s Home in Worthington; helping to move this historic institution back to its agricultural roots and forward to a second century of sustainability.

The course is co-sponsored by Simply Living Columbus, and the Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association, and UMCH. Some work-trade scholarships will be available.

Instructors: Peter Bane, Rhonda Baird and guests.
Cost: $895 including weekend lunches and course materials, $150 deposit required.
