About Sustainability Street Institute
The Sustainability Street Institute Incorporated
 
A not for profit organisation dedicated to community strengthening through ecological protection
Sust-St-Logo2.gif


The Sustainability Street Institute has been incorporated as the body for all matters to do with the development and promulgation of the Sustainability Street Approach (SSA). The SSA was devised by Vox Bandicoot, which will itself now focus on the very wide range of other sustainability education projects in its stable.

The first Sustainability Street Village emerged in Moreland, Victoria in 2002. Since then more than 200 others have been fostered across Australia. Consistently, participants report three key outcomes are:

  • Readily and easily achieving up to 30% reduction in waste, water and energy consumption. Often much more!
  • Excitement at pride about working with friends and neighbours on locally devised and energised sustainability projects.
  • A deep satisfaction at having made new connections and friendships with others in the community, and indeed, in the same street.

 

Local communities undertake a basic training? program in sustainable living which is documented in the Sustainability Street Manual -It's A Village Out There. Most importantly, the basic training course is much, much more than yet another 101 tips to save the planet. The course also teaches Deep Sustainability and Dynamic Capacity Building, which revolve around a values based, visceral and potentially life transforming relationships with the Planet earth and with each other.

Accordingly, as well as the Sustainability Street Course outlined in the Manual, the program relies also on the Communiversity. We are all learner and we are all teachers. Numerous of the sustainability challenges and opportunities have not even occurred yet. The Communiversity brings all of individual and household experiences, skills imagination and creativity to the Sustainability Street Village well to share. The more we share, the more we have.
