Sustainable Futures Day 2023: a local green revolution begins in Ku-ring-gai

St Ives was buzzing with energy on Saturday, 30th September 3023, as over 1,500 residents came together for the inaugural Sustainable Futures Day co-ordinated by Ku-ring-gai Council. The event wasn’t just a gathering—it was a movement in the making, where locals got the chance to chat with the inspiring Net Zero Champions, including our very own EnergyZE group about how to transform their homes into eco-friendly, low-cost havens.

The event was powered by 48 passionate Net Zero Champions—volunteers who are on a mission to spread the word about sustainability far and wide. And the best part? You can join them! Whether you’re ready to dive in headfirst or just want to dip your toes in, there’s a spot for you. You could lend a hand at an event, or roll up your sleeves with one of two dedicated groups focused on driving real change:

  1. Net Zero Action Collective: Dive into community electrification projects, participate in local solar talks, and check out the latest in EV car displays.
  2. Waste less, compost more: Get involved with recycling and reuse projects, clothing and toy swaps, and support the Ku-ring-gai Composting Network.

This is a pilot community project open to everyone aged 16 and up, so if you’ve got a passion for the planet, you’re in.
