LIVING LIGHTLY LOCALLY
Are you looking to live a happier, healthier, simpler, more locally connected and regenerative life?
Council is contributing to the Living Lightly Locally citizen science project run by the University of South Australia and the recruiting drive is on!
Living Lightly Locally is a free education and research program aimed at helping individuals, households and communities contribute directly to our shared understanding of what types of change we want to make, and what obstacles or barriers we encounter when trying to make such change in our own lives.

The vision poster was co-created during an exercise run by the Living Lightly Locally research team at the 2021 Mount Barker Waldorf School Spring Fair. The image was produced by Simon Kneebone Cartoonist & Illustrator. You can help create your own vision and bring it to life with ‘Living Lightly Locally’!
The last Pro Bono news cartoon for 2021. Pro Bono Australia is a voice for the social sector, ‘… a group of socially-minded individuals who help purpose-driven people and organisations … grow (their) impact. We believe society is better off when there is a thriving social economy. So over two decades ago, before the words “social enterprise” even existed, we started one. Our mission is simple: to activate good intentions.’
