The DIY SSA Pioneered by Cities of Randwick, Waverly and Woolahara as well as The City of Whitehorse in Melbourne. The DIY SSA mission statement ...
The biggest thing to get our heads around is that the social change, community making and eco-culture crafting aspects of the Systainability Street Approach are its deeper meaning and purpose.
The closer and richer people are together in their focus on the Earth, the deeper and wider will be the ecological sustainability achieved!
Sustainability Street is not about providing environmental information per se. There are oceans of information out there these days. More importantly, the SSA recognises that a groundswell of people want change and want to be part of a whole new relationship with the glorious natural systems of the Earth. The enviro-information obsession can actually be a distraction for this awakening mainstream.
Our job ahead is to craft new ways, norms, taboos and values. Believe it or not, getting together over a cuppa, is the best way to start designing this new culture for a better world, which we know is possible and which we can feel emerging.
Anyhow, and even more empowering, is to recognise the two greatest traits we all have. They are imagination and common sense. The way forward is just not rocket surgery. We all know what waste and pollution look like. All the answers are out there and we all have the right and the power to imagine and shape the future we want.
It all starts with a Sustainability Street Train the Mentor course open to council officers and community alike. Below, the historic, first ever TTM introduced by Skype --- thanks to the Clovelly CCC Sustainability St Village --- & Cities of Randwick, Waverly and Woollahara in East Sydney. The Clovelly Villagers at the other end of the "Cyber Workshop". Wow!
