Sustainable House Day Community Announcement

The group is proud to present one home in Melton West that will be open to the public on Sunday 12th of September 2010. Visit http://sustainablehouseday.com for the address closer to the date.

I hope you take the time to visit and get some ideas about how to make your own home just that little bit more sustainable. The ideas you take away will most probably save you money as well!

Clay Oven Workshop

On Saturday, the group held a clay oven workshop at Gavin & Kims place which was well attended by members of the Melton Sustainable Living Group. We had ten willing workers at our disposal, and we managed to occupy them all on various tasks during the day. So from this: To this in two hours (plus one day's drying and sand removal)!

Before everyone turned up at 10am, I received an order at 8am of 1 cubic metre of packing sand, which has a high clay content. Kim and I had to shift this sand from the roadside to the area where we were making the oven. It took me the good part of an hour to do this work alone. After a cuppa and a biscuit, I made this template for the sand dome. It is 50cm high and 85cm wide. This picture shows how the sand dome was being formed. Four people on a quadrant building up sand. Here is the sand dome nearly

Awareness Meeting

Don’t forget the MSLG Awareness meeting being held on the 7th May 2009. Please refer to the poster below for details. Click to enlarge. There will be two presentations, one by Gavin about his journey towards a sustainable lifestyle, and one from another group, who will hopefully talk about why and how they formed their group and what projects they have done. It should make for an interesting evening. How to see you, and any prospective members there. Don’t forget to try and put up a few flyers on community notice boards during the weekend. Thanks!
