Oz-Urban-Sustainability (aka 'OUS') is a list for discussing sustainability and sustainable living practices that are suitable for those living in the city, urban, or suburban locations in Australia and New Zealand.
NoPity ShirtsNoPity Shirts is a wonderful little net.shop that sells T-shirts with a wonderful assortment of fun slogans that will be suitable for people with CFS and Fibro and any other invisible disability or chronic illness. We also have shirts - in all different styles and colours - that will suit anybody with any disability, or just anybody what'd like some motivation. The web address is: |
Does OUS include my living situation?
For the purposes of the list, we're talking about things applicable to people living in a high-rise apartment, a low-rise flat, an attached or semi-detached unit, or a house .... all of which may come with or without land. For the purposes of the list, I'd assume that anything labeled "urban" would have less than 1/2 an acre of usable land around it, approximately.
Does OUS include me?
If you're human, it does! You can be single, married, a family group of any mix ... you can be young, middle-age or old ... you can be able-bodied, chronically ill or disabled in any way ... basically, we include anybody who's interested!
What do you talk about?
Anything that's relavent to the topic! That might include anything from the very simple, like choosing "green" electricity, or turning off lights when they're not in use ... to the very complex, like setting up a Permaculture "forest" in your back yard! And, of course, anything in between is welcome too. If you're not sure, then email the owner and check if your topic is appropriate.
