Join the Port Environment Centre Waste Advisory Group for the grande FINALE of the lid sorting project!

Its time for the group to move on to other projects so join us one last time to sort the remaining lids.

Come along and get involved, we promise that sorting lids is more fun than it might sound!

Please join us for another ASBN SustainabiliTEA - a time to enjoy some tea (or morning beverage of your choice) whilst having a yarn about a diversity of topics around sustainable and regenerative built environments.

Our upcoming SustainabiliTEA session will be with Dr Jacinta Humphrey, Urban Ecologist and Postdoctoral Researcher with the ICON Science group at RMIT University.

How to improve habitat for native birds in urban areas Australia’s population is steadily increasing, prompting the need for new houses, shops and roads. Whilst these developments are important for our community, they may have a negative impact on the birds that share our suburbs. So, how do birds respond to urban development? Why do some species cope better than others? And what can we do to better support the more sensitive species?

We look forward to hearing Dr Jacinta Humphrey insights on what makes a residential street, urban park or private garden, bird-friendly, whilst sharing space with you all virtually over a soothing cuppa!

Invite others too!

A 90 minute workshop on one possible model to build housing collectives that focus on retrofitting housing for the climate crisis, while also contributing to the decommodification of housing for public good.

The goal of Retrofit and Decommodify (RAD) housing is to collectively acquire, retrofit, and decommodify existing suburban housing so that we, and others, can live in resilient and affordable housing.

The RAD housing project offers one small way to contribute to prefiguring better futures by providing opportunities to live collectively in ways that help us to practice commoning and act in solidarity with more radical movements for change.

The RAD housing members are currently visiting from Naarm, and keen to take this opportunity to transfer some of their learnings to the community here, to aid in similar and related efforts.
