Sustainable Living refers to the ability to meet our present needs without compromising the needs of future generations.
Studies show the New Zealand public is concerned about the implications of climate change and is motivated to make necessary changes in their lifestyle. However, most people are at a loss to know where to start. In part this is because they lack information about the large range of NZ entrepreneurs who offer products and services that could help them reduce their energy consumption. The Sustainable Living Fair is being held to bring information about these businesses and services to the public, in one place, where it is easily accessible.
More and more people are becoming aware of environmental issues and want to know how they can make a difference. The Fair aims to bring together the many options available to people so they can make a difference and choose a more sustainable way of life. It is also a way people can link up with local groups and others interested in sustainable living.
