Hi from Sydney

Post: # 73409Post Dee_Sydney »

Hi everyone,
This site is an amazing treasure trove of a find and I am loving exploring it for ideas and hints. I am a student, living in Sydney with my partner and 18 month old daughter. I have always been a bit of a green concious person but since having Milly I have been determined that she would grow up thinking that vegie patches, recycling and a conciousness regarding her impact on her environment were a natural and normal part of life.
Anyway, we live in a rented house so we are limited in what we can do but we do everything we can.
Thanks for creating this site, it is fantastic.
Oh, according to the map, we are the only ones in Sydney, if there are any other out there HI!
Dee

Hey there,
I'm in Petersham Nev, inner city, small blocks, Oh Well. Lots of fabulous organic markets and we are just down the road from the bower and reverse garbage, my 2 favourite places in the city!

Frozenthunderbolt, would be nice if we had gotten interested seriously in solar decades ago but oh well. Not so sure about the whole desal thing though.
