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

Volkswagen was ordered to recall nearly 500,000 of its cars today after the EPA discovered that the German automaker was using software created to evade emissions testing. According to the EPA, the company has been breaking the law by using a device that can detect when a vehicle is being tested for emissions. The device turns on full emissions control systems only during the testing, giving what is essentially a false reading, which is not only illegal, but it seems awfully hypocritical for a company who likes to tout its commitment to the environment.
