Sustainability Street will help us to get to a stage where we are comfortable saying hello to our neighbours and even strangers in our street. This is surely the definition of a strong community.
Sustainability Street

Founding Sustainability Street® communities are now into their 3rd year and are about to mentor new groups in their neighbourhoods.

- Up to 30% reductions in waste, water and energy/greenhouse.
- Participation in the creation extraordinary local projects such as community gardens,
