Environnmentality 7 March 2012

Dear Environmentality listeners,

Jaime hosted a decidedly chilled-out show today, dedicating the first half hour to playing some music.

Jaime does miss Smokey… and he puts out a call to the community. Are there any budding radio presenters who would like to join in and be part of the show? Also, the Environmentality team would love to receive feedback from listeners on any aspect of the program, feel free to contact us on either of these matters.

Later in the show, Jaime welcomed Dan Atkins, co-founder and host of Sustainability Drinks to talk about his monthly events.

Sustainability Drinks, hosted in cities around Australia, features a renowned speaker with expertise in their particular field of sustainability. The speaker normally speaks for about 5-10 minutes. Then guests are then free to mingle with eachother and purchase, as you may have guessed, drinks! In Melbourne, this popular event runs on the first Wednesday night of every month.

What came through our discussion today is there are many individuals keen to network with eachother on the environment and sustainability. Sustainability Drinks extends its invitation to people “who are passionate about sustainability”.

Also, we find that promoting sustainability can, and should be, fun! For example, the March speaker at Sustainability Drinks Melbourne is Dean O-Callaghan, who founded The Good Brew Company, a truly ‘green’ beer. Hopefully the guests at the Melbourne March Sustainability Drinks were able to sample some!

Dan has also hosted many other interesting and inspiring speakers over the last few years. You can find out more via the website. 

We at Environmentality love hear about these lively events steered towards sustainability!

Next week we chat to Simon Finnigan from the Hume City Council about some exciting and free upcoming environmental workshops. We hope you will listen in again then!

Listen to the show!
