Sustainable House Day

Posted on by

Sustainable House Day is on this Sunday 12th September all around Australia. To find out where the open houses are in your area, click here.

Houses are open from 10-4 pm and are free. Just look out for the balloons.

You get to have a look at how different houses are rigging up solar panels, harvesting water, recycling, gardening and many more things. Lots of info to be had, and a good opportunity to find out what is happening in your sustainable living community.

Anyone in the Sydney area that is interested in having a look, a list here of all the houses.

  5. Thanks for the heads up on this one. I am going to get to a sustainable house near me. There is also the Randwick Ecoliving Fair on the Sunday 19th September with lots of emphasis on bike riding as transport.

  6. My absolute dream home would be to incorporate as much ‘green energy’ as possible. Did you catch that interesting section on House & Garden (I think) about those guys who’ve made a huge group of B&B huts using hay & mudbrick. I want….
