This website has been created to provide a jumping-off point for all those interested in creating a sustainable future for Bellingen and its surrounds.

We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.  ~ Albert Einstein

We are building on Bellingen’s history as an environmentally aware community as we strive to carry out positive and effective grassroots action towards a future that is safe, clean, and supportive of all forms of life.

Through EDUCATION, EMPOWERMENT, and ECONOMICS, this site will attempt to stimulate individuals, business and government to act to minimise the effects of global climate change.

We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.  ~ Native American Proverb
