Eco Living Fair
Thursday, April 9, 2009 at 8:28PM by Ann Niddrie Ann Niddrie A year has passed since we embarked on an adventure to the seaside, to go to Randwicks' Eco Living Fair.
We admired tree frogs, inspected solar cars and sipped on organic hot chocolate..
It was a warm and lazy afternoon with a cool breeze just starting to chill the backs of our necks as the sun lowered in the sky. People were keen to share friendly smiles and knowledge of things from cane toads and worm farms, to organic cotton sheets..
Lots of local Councils are making moves to support their communities in 'going green' and I think it's great. There is always more we can do but I think one of the great things is that consumers get to see that buying organic food or products isn't always more expensive. A set of big brand sheets sprayed with all kinds of chemicals to make them crease free generally cost as much if not more than a set of sheets made from chemical free cotton, bamboo or hemp. Organic sheets are going to be my next cosy investment this Autumn.
