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

After eight years of analyzing samples from NASA’s Stardust, a team of scientists may have identified seven microscopic specks of interstellar stardust dating back to the beginnings of the solar system. If confirmed, these rare dust motes would mark the first found samples of stardust from outside our solar system and could offer up valuable answers to the origin and evolution of extrasolar dust. The interstellar dust could have been created in a supernova explosion millions of years ago and transformed by eons of exposure to extreme space conditions.
