Media Release, Monday 22 September 2008

Melburnians are being encouraged to get inspired and think creatively about new ways to tackle climate change and create more sustainable cities, as the University of Melbourne holds the latest in a series of ‘Sustainable Cities Round Tables' on Wednesday, September 24.

Featuring a series of short presentations, musical interludes and interactive workshops, this latest Round Table will be focussing on the concept of ‘waste'.

"Wasted resources, the reuse of waste, the revaluing of waste, waste campaigns and how redesign and absorption within a closed system can transform waste into a resource to create more sustainable cities. These issues and more will be under the spotlight this Wednesday," says Ferne Edwards, from the Victorian Eco-Innovation Lab at the University of Melbourne.
