Sydney: Clean battery power on tap at student residence

I heard the story of these guys a few weeks ago on the National Programme and thought they sounded pretty cool.  They’re very busy ‘going green’ and are even hoping they’re the most sustainable vineyard in Aotearoa.  I would like to ask you if you think they are.  Check out their site. They’ve made major progress, and they’re calling for more ideas about how to become greener (good on them) and are rewarding people’s efforts with a box of wine per month.  You can leave your suggestions in a drop-down box, and go in the draw and I really think that you, being such a positive planet loving community, will have a wealth of ideas for them. 

Just briefly, they’re already using solar, rainwater harvesting, recycling, composting, wetland ponds (nice), sheep rather than lawn-mowing, on-site waste-water reuse, and temperature monitoring.

I felt quite excited when the press release came into the Happyzine inbox about their ‘Art on a Bottle‘ competition (are you an artist? Check it out, you could win $2500), as when I heard about them on the National Programme, I immediately wanted to tell you about them.  I love a good mission.
