Maribyrnong Council has recently worked with the Indian community to produce a DVD in Hindi about saving energy in the home. The project has been funded by the Victorian Sustainability Accord  who saw a gap in the basic environmental information available for households which speak languages other than English. The DVD called ‘A Recipe For Energy Efficiency’ features local primary students and their parents.
The launch of this DVD will take place at West Footscray Neighbourhood House and everyone is welcome for a film viewing. There will also be showbags and demonstrations from the Energy and Water Taskforce.
Friday December 2, 5.00 – 6.30pm

You are all awesome! It was an absolute joy to share the evening with you and I look forward to supporting and bringing in all the communities I work with in the area … your amazing  process can bring them together to share their visions and empower them collectively to demonstrate what real community is.
