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

The days of DVD video have been numbered for years now as online streaming and instant video downloads have been taking over. Now a new study reveals that getting rid of DVDs altogether would result in massive energy savings and greenhouse gas reductions in the United States. Estimates show that if everyone who currently rents or buys DVDs shifted to streaming in 2011, American households would emit about 2 billion kilograms (about 4,400,000 pounds) less carbon and use about 30 petajoules less energy – about as much energy needed to power 200,000 U.S. homes.
