May you all have a wonderful festive season however you plan to enjoy the coming days.

As is common at this time of year many of our sustainability groups are having a little time off to recharge for the next year. As a result we will have less to inform you of in coming weeks.

In the new year will will bring more groups news online and further develop the reach of Sustainability News. Make sure you share our details to those groups who are passionate about sustainability and community resilience and put newsgate@lasource.com.au on your email list to have your messages go further.

Next year look forward to more opportunities to connect with the rest of the sustainability world.

A UNSW Event 16th December

After over a decade of discussion and several false starts, a carbon pricing scheme has finally passed through the Australian Parliament, to commence operation from July 2012. However, much uncertainty remains regarding what will actually happen when a carbon price is introduced, how successfully the fixed price period will transition into the full emissions trading scheme, how it will mesh with complementary measures and the Carbon Farming Initiative, and even how long the scheme will continue to operate.

When: 16 December 2011, 9:15am – 4:45pm
Where: John Niland Scientia Building

For booking please contact Martin Jones. For full details visit: http://www.ceem.unsw.edu.au/content/userDocs/CEEMAnnualConference2011Programmev10.pdf

Hi everyone hiding out in the city and eastern suburbs.

It’s time to come and share – ideas, food, plants, seeds, produce, preserves, excess whatever, tips, tricks and solutions to modern-day urban permaculture conundrums.

Where: You are commanded to gather at Barrett House 6 Barrett Place Randwick (off Frenchmans Road –  just at the end of the shopping strip as you head down Frenchmans to ward Carrington Road) See attached map/photo

When:  Any time from about 5.30pm on Friday 9th December 2011 – until whenever

Bring:  Yourself with a smile, food for sharing, drinks for sharing, plants, seeds,  – all the stuff and intangibles mentioned above. And a gold coin donation to help pay for Tea, coffee etc (BYO other drinks)

Why?  It’s high time we got face to face and practiced some ethical permaculture style sharing, and it’s a chance to wish each other a happy festive season and a great 2012

So come along and meet or renew acquaintances , have some fun and food, and leave much later with whatever comes your way.

See you there!
Peter
