Wyndham City’s Green Living Series is back, with more than 35 free events to help you live a greener and cleaner life. From cheese making classes to koala tours, there will be something for everyone during the two-month series.

Wyndham City’s Environment and Sustainability portfolio holder, Cr Heather Marcus, said the free community events had proven extremely popular with residents.

“This is the fifth year we’ve held the Green Living Series in Wyndham. Back in 2014 we ran it as a trial with 10 events, which were attended by 179 people. Last year there were 34 events attended by almost 1800 people,” Cr Marcus said.

“This is a testament to the community’s interest and enthusiasm in reducing their environmental footprint. I’m glad we’re able to give people the opportunity to attend these events,” she added.

Highlights for this year include a tour of Mount Rothwell, the largest predator free ecosystem in Victoria, workshops on keeping chooks, and pop-up recycling days.

“I’m so excited to see the return of this popular series. The Green Living Series aims to increase local interest and knowledge in living sustainably by raising awareness and providing tools and ideas for change,” Cr Marcus said.

“If you’ve ever wanted to make a green change in your household but don’t know where to start, make sure you come along to the Green Living Series,” she added.

The Green Living Series will be held during February and March. For more information and a full list of events, visit www.wyndham.vic.gov.au/greenlivingseries

 

Support Independent Community Journalism

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.

We operate independently.

Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

When you support The Indian Sun, you support:

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers

We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Please consider making a contribution today.

Thank you for your support.

The Indian Sun Team
