You will DIG ‘Living Sustainably in Rental Accommodation’

Manly Council is hosting a free workshop on ‘Living Sustainably in Rental Accommodation’ as part of its new ‘DIG Manly’ education for sustainability’ program. ‘DIG’ is an acronym for ‘Dream. Inspire. Grow.’

The ‘Living Sustainably in Rental Accommodation’ workshop takes participants on a ‘room by room tour’ of the average rental property looking at simple time and cost effective ideas that will help make their homes more energy efficient, sustainable and, importantly, save money.

Presented by Green Renters, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing sustainability advice for those living in rental accommodation, the workshop also covers general changes, ideas and advice for greening your lifestyle.

Renters are a growing part of the community and their involvement in facilitating sustainability is both vital and possible.

The workshop covers common challenges experienced by renters as well as useful time and cost-effective ideas to make your property more energy efficient, sustainable and save you money.  

“The new ‘DIG Manly’ program aims to attract people from all backgrounds and varied interests in addition to committed ‘greenies’,” said Mayor of Manly, Councillor Jean Hay.
