Hastings Enviro

Join Hastings Enviro and our partners, Energy Forever, Saint Columba Anglican School and Climate Change Australia to create a local renewable energy summit.

With global and local experts we can inspire, educate and activate the local community to increase access to renewable energy. We are planning to feature, electric car displays, local suppliers and practical, easy-to-implement solutions to help locals from 244X save money and save the planet.

Interested? Register to join the team to help out in a range of areas including creating the event, promoting and telling the stories around the event, local supplier engagement, and help on the day.

This project aims to create ‘microforests’ in the local area. What is a Microforest? Imagine a tiny, but multi-layered forest that contains all the range of tress and shrubs that “captures carbon, breaks down decomposing organic material to return nutrients into the soil, and creates habitat for wildlife — just on a smaller scale” (Tucker Bush). The size can be as small as a front verge to as large as a tennis court.

By building a Microforest, we hope to help people connect more with nature and inspire an understanding of how even they can help improve the local climate, biodiversity and even communities. We hope to connect deeply with a range of groups from the local communities, including teachers and schoolchildren through participating and linking with their studies, private landowners, property developers and Councils and demonstrate how quickly a Microforest can make a difference.

This project is looking to encourage people to eat locally produced food, especially focusing on regenerative agricultural producers and promoting reducing food miles.

Based around a website and directory, the project is aiming to hold an “Eat Local Challenge” and create a range of levels and resources to help people take part. We are looking for help with creating menus, creating videos about your experience with local food including cooking and preparing, speaking with local providers. If you’re interested in this project, sign up receive regular updates and information on how you can take part.

Every 2nd Saturday of the month at the Foreshore Markets. Sunrise Rotary Port Macquarie and Hastings Enviro club members have created a recycling hub where you can bring many of the recyclable every-day household items that can not go in the yellow bin.
