An hour about Sustainable House Day Geelong, the Sun Bear Festival in Anglesea, and more

Guests in The Sustainable Hour on 10 October 2018 are two house owners who open their homes on Sunday 14 October: Kerri Erler from Teesdale, Stephen Williams from Manifold Heights, and energy assessment expert Dan Cowdell from Geelong Sustainability, who you can meet at Property #5 in Manifold Heights between 10am and 2pm on Geelong’s Sustainable House Day.


From 36:00 to 42:00 we talk with Katja Nedoluha, founder and festival director of the family wildlife Sun Bear Children’s Festival, which is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year.

And before all of that, Mik runs a short quiz about a couple of ridiculous mistakes Australia’s new environment minister Melissa Price made on 9 October in an interview with ABC journalist Sabra Lane.

 

“Anybody could do this, and I feel it is part of my commitment to the environment and to sustainability to showcase to people that they could do it too.”

~ Kerri Erler, owner of Property #1 at Sustainable House Day Geelong 2018
