Climate
change challenges ask for solutions that are all stitched up
The BSG
welcomes its Sustainable Craft Action Group! Like all good things it's taken us a while to
get going, but now's the time to get involved..............
Click here to see the exciting things we've got going on.......
This is another jam packed edition of
our paperless news - plenty of opportunities to participate, be involved in,
learn from and be inspired by.
Believe it or not lots of things have been
happening behind the scenes at the BSG including preparation for a Beyond Carbon
Bendigo Business project; the success of obtaining funds to run a Women's Leadership
in Sustainability Program; the success of the CVGA obtaining funds for a
program titled "Retrofitting the Regions" of which the BSG will be involved in;
the review of our office space; a new BSG logo (big thank-you to Dale Harris
from Studio Ink for this); and the development of a BSG 2010 strategy. All very
exciting stuff - we'll keep you posted as these and more develop further!
Thank-you so much to all those who
have contributed tirelessly over the last couple of months to support the
numerous events and activities we have on the go.
Warm Regards, Karen Corr
BSG President
