Kitchen Table Sustainability

I will be conducting monthly workshops in collaboration with the Byron Bay-based organisation, “Will of the People” at the monthly Sunday market in Byron Bay from 12 noon to 2 pm.

For market details, see: http://www.byron-bay.com/markets/

For the local weather, see: http://www.byron-bay.com/weather/index.html

At the workshop each month we will work on one of the six components of the KTS  “EATING” menu.

“Education” is up first.

The first session was attended by about 20 enthusiastic and articulate local people. What great ideas they had!

We discussed the community education and capacity-building components of “Education” and explored how an engaged citizenry can learn about sustainability issues and take action on matters of importance to local and global sustainability.

Here are some notes about the first workshop: KTS Educating for Sustainability

And here is a summary of “Education for Sustainability” points: KTS Education 14 Points
