COOKING demonstrations using locally produced foods, fashion parades with second-hand clothing and drystone wall workshops were all part of this year’s Sustainable Living Festival on Warrnambool’s Civic Green.
Hundreds of people took part in the festival that not only gave people access to healthy food grown locally, but also showed them how to cook with less waste and how to compost waste.
A farmers’ market that included produce from the Warrnambool Community Garden whetted appetites.
Among those to spread the message about sustainability at the festival were well-renowned food enthusiast Peter Russell-Clarke and local chef Christopher Consodine.
Presentations on energy-efficient motor vehicles, art using recycled materials and water-saving tips from Wannon Water demonstrated the many ways in which people could do their bit to achieve sustainability for the planet.
