10 Years of Taking it to the Streets - The Sustainable Living Foundation (SLF).

The Sustainable Living Foundation (SLF) will once again host Australia’s largest sustainability event, the Sustainable Living Festival 2009, incorporating the theme ‘Sustainability – Taking it to the Streets’, and marking 10 years of spreading the message of sustainability to the broader Melbourne community.

Luke Taylor, Festival Director said, “To reach our 10th year birthday celebrations is a huge milestone for the Sustainable Living Foundation and for Victoria. It’s amazing to think the first Sustainable Living event in Daylesford attracted a little over 3000 people, last year we had 129,000 visits to the Festival. It’s such a testament that the local community has become much more aware of the urgent issues such as global warming and is now working towards making sustainability a priority.”

“While the current uptake of sustainable living is growing, we need to get everyone on board fast and take sustainability to their streets, neighbourhoods and homes.”

Over 100 sustainability focused innovators and leaders will present over the three days of the core festival on numerous topics around sustainability, including home, garden, food, travel, finance, waste, water, renewable energy, economics and more.

Festival highlights include Music that Rocks Our World, Sustainable Fashion Parade, Eco Clothing Exchange, Design Market, NGV Sustainable Art Space, Sustainable Gardening Australia seminar series. As well as a Transport Forum and Twilight Films.
