Who are We?

We are residents of the Southern Channel who want to reduce our environmental footprint at home, in our community and on the road by using the resources and skills at our doorstep.

Our actions include: home food production; buying local produce; ethical shopping; energy efficient homes; minimising chemical use; reducing waste; and caring for the natural environment.

Our mission statement:

Aiming to increase awareness, accessibility, ease and enjoyment of sustainable living and community life in the Southern Channel, with an emphasis on local produce and activities.

Members have access to:

Food co-operative – order local, organic, ethical and environmentally-friendly products at affordable prices (and save waste by re-using packaging).

Local Food for Local People – subscribe to weekly boxes of fresh, organically-grown produce, mostly grown south of Kingston.

Workshops and discussion groups – attend informative sessions and build skills in a range of areas relating to sustainable living.

Community Noticeboard – buy, sell, trade and advertise for local services and events.

Information updates/newsletters – find out the latest about sustainable living events and opportunities in Southern Tasmania.
