Hi,
This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.
Thanks

We’ve all heard examples of poor priorities in the healthcare industry leading to increased risks. Here’s one more. Global stockpiles of snakebite antivenom are diminishing, in large part because it’s not a profitable medicine. According to Médecins Sans Frontières, allowing the supplies to run low will endanger or possibly even cost the lives of tens of thousands of people in Sub-Saharan Africa. If nothing is done, the supplies could run out within the next year.
