Sustainability in the suburbs

Yes - it is possible to "retro-fit" suburban
streets for more sustainable living. Here's an
inspirational story of how sustainable living in
the suburbs can be built out of restored
community.
Below is a link to an article published by the Sunday Age Colour Magazine “M”, a few weeks back, publicising the Sustainability Street Approach (SSA), namely, the power of building local, human scale relationships for sustainability. An important point made in the article is that ... “after a while, Sustainability Street is not something the community does, it becomes something the community is!”

Sustainability Street story
There are now scores and scores of SSA Villages, around Australia, who have long since “finished the course”, but whose group identification and sense of belonging to each other is ongoing, based on their commitment to a sustainable future. The very first ever Sustainability Street Village is now six years old and still hangin’ out together.
