LOCAL enviro-minded group Sustainable Bayswater is inviting like-minded folks to their launch at Enviro House for a night of short films and snacks.

The group used to be called Transition Town Bayswater and they’re holding a second launch as a ‘getting-to-know-you’ event with the new, more obvious moniker.

“We’re still part of the global Transition Town network which is about local communities transitioning away from fossil fuels and living more sustainably,” volunteer Kevin Mack says.

“Our new name is easier to understand and better reflects the wide-ranging, practical work our group does such as nature walks, community olive harvests, film events, advocacy and workshops.”

He says anyone interested in making their community more environmentally sustainable should come along, “whether you’re interested in planting trees, reducing waste, boosting active transport, championing renewables or any other aspect of sustainability”.

It’s at Enviro House, 125 King William Street on Saturday September 2, 4–6pm. 

At 2pm there’s a share and repair event where you can bring down busted items that could be fixed rather than thrown out. It’s free but sling them an RSVP at events.humanitix.com/sustainable-bayswater-launch-party so they can plan for vittles.
