Sustainability: Make It Your Sport!



I love this ad!



If you live in Melbourne you should definitely try to get down to Fed Square this weekend where there'll be a huge range of exhibitors, talks, interactive workshops, art, films and performances celebrating and inspiring sustainable communities.

I'm looking forward to the ethical consumer talk on Saturday called Your Dollar is Your Vote! Who Did You Vote for Today? by Nick Ray, co-ordinator of the Sustainable Living Foundation’s Directory (link now in the 'websites we love' directory on this here blog). According to the blurb: "Nick's passionate about giving people simple everyday tools to help in living more lightly."

That's kind of what I'm trying to do here at The Body Shop for our activist minded staff and customers... People have the best intentions to be more ethical and sustainable but it can be hard to 1. find the truth 2. break bad habits 3. find the 'right' alternatives easily. I'm trying to inspire and pass on great tools that make "saving us from ourselves" easy peasy.
