Sustainability
There is no universally agreed definition on what sustainability means.
However most definitions include reference to three key principles:
- environmental sustainability
- economic sustainability
- social sustainability
In other words a sustainable future is one in which a healthy environment, economic prosperity and social justice are pursued simultaneously to ensure the well-being and quality of life of present and future generations.
Glamorgan Spring Bay Council can assist individuals and communities with information and education relating to local sustainability issues such as waste management, recycling, composting, energy efficiency, climate change and local food production.
A Home Energy Audit Toolkit (HEAT) is available to borrow free of charge to assist residents with monitoring their home energy use.
Recycling and waste reduction education projects are regularly held in schools throughout the municipality.
