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

Researchers at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) in Richmond may have discovered an amazing way to save thousands of lives taken by explosive land mines every year. According to a recent study by the researchers, hidden land mine explosives not only explode on contact, but they also leak poisonous toxins into the ground, affecting the surrounding plant life. The discovery could possibly lead to a safe way to locate and remove underground land mines, potentially saving thousands of lives in the process.
