Sustainable Sharing – Part Of The ECO-CITY Melbourne Exhibition In February
Round Table convenor Ferne Edwards says it may seem strange to view sharing as a sustainability issue but, she says, as the West has become more industrialised we’ve also grown more individualised producing more products per person.
This Round Table we will explore how we can learn to share again.
Topics include:
- Shared spaces, such as composts and co-houses
- Shared products and materials, such as the renewed retro world of no longer daggy hand-me-downs
- Shared services, such as permablitzes and group purchasing power
