In the City of Willoughby, Sydney, the Council and the community have richly embraced the Sustainability Street Approach.  As is well known, the golden purpose of the SSA is the “Sow” phase, or where “Streeters” work to teach, inspire or otherwise influence others.

One particular SSA Village in Willoughby undertook an indigenous planting re-vegetation project opposite the local coffee shop.  The the proprietors of the shop were delighted with the new plantings.  Coffee shop patrons also admired the work.  Indeed they wanted to know more.  In a beautiful example of the “Sow” phase can snowball,  the coffee shop proprietors began to give out plant lists and planting guidelines to interested customers. 

– or – what will now become known as the The all important indigenous or local native planting message being “spread like seeds on the wind”.  This is a great example of local people shifting culture and understanding - on a peer to peer level,  The power of the so called “Coles Car Park” conversation Willoughby Çafe Chat effect.

Carbonopoly 

You may be interested to know that Vox Bandicoot has created a “carbon conscious economy”, Corporate Training simulation activity called Carbonopoly – Play Like You Own The Planet.  

This simulation training experience fosters understanding by creating circumstances in which players develop strategies which blend offsets, true cost analysis, Cap and Trade parameters, carbon taxing implications, etc.  The “game” was developed and trailed in collaboration with senior management and Board of South East Water Limited.

Gordon Gecko once said "Greed Is Good", but now we know "Green Is Better"!
