The Sustainable Future Festival will return to the Central Coast on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 October, taking over the University of Newcastle\u2019s Ourimbah campus to celebrate all things sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This family friendly event offers something for everyone, with a jam-packed program filled with environmentally friendly activities, workshops and demonstrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Central Coast Council Director of Infrastructure, Boris Bolgoff said this exciting festival aims to stimulate a new way of thinking about waste management and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
resource recovery, as well as inspire the community on how to live more sustainably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCouncil is pleased to once again partner with its waste collection contractor Cleanaway, to deliver an event that not only brings community members together to learn about all things sustainability, but also offers handy tips and tricks on how we can all minimise our carbon footprint and keep the Central Coast as beautiful as ever,\u201d Mr Bolgoff said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“This year\u2019s festival will host some very special guests including Triple M and Better Homes and Gardens star, Rob Palmer on Saturday 14 October. Rob will share practical advice on how you can restore old or used furniture at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAustralian cook, author, radio and TV personality, Julie Goodwin will also join the festival on Sunday 15 October, offering tips on how to cook local and in-season foods, with minimum waste and low impact on the environment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Administrator, Rik Hart said local residents continue to show how passionate they are about reducing the amount of their household waste that ends up in landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis terrific event offers the perfect opportunity for locals to learn first-hand from the experts on how to live more sustainably, and what simple steps can be taken at home to reduce our carbon footprint,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhilst Council runs different waste initiatives to help residents reduce the amount of household waste that ends up in landfill, real change can be made at home if we all work together to follow simple steps to reduce our global footprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI encourage all community members to head down to this two-day event which is sure to offer something for the whole family.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
