Sustainable Living

Another take on keeping it local

Meg Ulman and Su Dennett

Hepburn Relocalisation Network

Want to live more sustainably?  Want to make a difference locally?

Su and Meg from the Hepburn Relocalisation Network will talk about how they avoid shopping at Coles or Woolworths, and why.

Hepburn Relocalisation Network (HRN) is a community group based in Hepburn and Daylesford that recognises the urgent realities of peak oil and climate change. Their response is to raise awareness about how these issues affect our community and how we can plan for the future.

HRN runs film nights, workshops and events that help to strengthen a diverse, localised non-monetary economy.

Hepburn Relocalisation Network encourages people to grow their own food, shop locally and for locally-produced foods as a means of strengthening the local economy. 

Reducing our dependence on the corporate food system ensures preventative health and enables a sustainable way of living.
