Take part in the to discover and support Yarra's sustainable businesses and engage with its local government. The free four-week challenge aims to make the Yarra community more sustainable and regenerative by building its circular economy.
Circular Economy Victoria and Reducing our Footprint are asking Yarra residents to join the , which will take place from the 19th of September to the 14th of October, and be a part of the change towards a more sustainable City of Yarra!
The 30-day challenge involves forming a network with friends, neighbours, and/or colleagues and engaging the community and local merchants in the City of Yarra to build a more circular economy.
Participants will learn sustainable behaviours, connect with their community, participate in daily challenges and become a sustainability champion. This learning experience will be focused on local circular solutions in Yarra and will be facilitated and made engaging through gamification, expert podcasts, quizzes, and videos.
The expert podcasts include conversations with these local sustainability pioneers: Homie, Reluv, Green Power, Future Crunch, OZ Harvest, Onya, Replas, and Go for Zero.
This challenge will be done via lessons accessed on a smartphone, tablet and/or computer that will prompt the use of sustainable behaviours in the community. Those taking on the challenge will earn points for acting out these sustainable behaviours and their progress to becoming a sustainability champion will be tracked.
The Climate Action stream of the Yarra Council's Annual Grants Program is supporting this initiative. The program's impact survey will help the community of Yarra to measure the impact of hundreds of individuals embracing circular living.
Participating in the is free and open to any residents, but there are a limited number of available spots in the initiative, so interest in taking part needs to be registered.
