Sustainable living day
Peninsula residents who wish to make their home "greener" are being encouraged to attend the Peninsula Environment Group's second annual Sustainable Living Day on Saturday, October 3.
The event will be held at the Woy Woy Environment Centre from 9am to 5pm.
"If you want to make your home greener, cut your electricity bills or learn how to start growing your own veggies, then get down to the Woy Woy Environment Centre on October 3," group president Mr Mark Mann said.
"A series of informal talks and workshops will run all day, focusing on practical aspects of sustainable living such as bicycle repairs, growing your own vegetables, installing solar power and more.
"We want to show that living sustainably is not only good for the planet, but it's also rewarding and enjoyable - and a lot easier than people think.
"And sustainable living - using less energy, growing your own food, recycling and so on - can also save you money, so it's good for your pocket too."
As well as talks and workshops, the event will feature delicious food and children's recycled crafts and painting activities, plus a raffle to win some great hemp products from Woy Woy's Gnostic Hemporium.
"People can come for the whole day or just for one or more workshops or simply stop by a piece of cake and a chat," Mr Mann said.
"It's a great chance to meet other local people interested in sustainable living and the environment."
Admission is free or by donation on the day.
