HCA Heartbeat - Health, Community, Alternatives

Yackandandah Sustainablity is a resource and forum for individuals and groups to use to help them undertake activities which will enhance their sustainability.

Yackandandah Sustainability was formed in 2008 after a series of well attended community meetings.  These forums identified many different ways people felt "sustainability" should be achieved but there was consensus in

• empowering the community by bringing like minded people together to undertake activities
• to provide education and share knowledge to improve skills
• reducing our carbon footprint by reducing the amount of resources we use and reducing greenhouse emissions

These forums identified manhy activities already being undertaken by exisiting community groups and we should not reinvent the wheel.

Beechworth Sustainability Roundtable Meeting Report  

Wednesday 13th August

The inaugural meeting was attended by 59 people at the Beechworth Neighbourhood Centre. The central activity was within the four discussion groups who were each asked to highlight three foci for activity over the next two years. Somewhat unstated were the core aims of Beechworth Sustainability but they are broadly:

•    Substantially reduce energy use and greenhouse emissions for the town and shire
•    Focus firstly on households, secondly on institutions, thirdly on business and industry
•    Implement things that have a real effect i.e. “walk the walk” NOT “talk the talk”
