About The Ninth Annual Sustainable House Day

Some of Australia’s most environmentally sustainable homes will be open to the public as millions of Australians continue to embrace renewable energy, recycling and other practices designed to lessen our impact on the environment.

“Environmental awareness – or being ‘green’ – is great, but putting it into practice around your own home is the best contribution you can make to living in harmony with our planet.
Find out directly from home owners who’ve put sustainable living into practice, about reducing waste around your home, saving water, natural home heating and cooling and more.

If you can’t wait till September 12th you can interact with home-owners via the online community shmeco.com – a great way of learning from others or sharing what you are doing.” www.sustainablehouseday.com
