Mount Barker District Council

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’!

Illustrations from the Quality of Life Report, the work of community leaders of the Aboriginal human services sector in South Australia, presented to the Nuclear Fuel Cycle Citizens’ Jury 2, late last month.

To quote from the report:  ‘The government wants us to have a conversation about nuclear. As Aboriginal community leaders and NGO service providers we say “No” to this proposal… We want the government to understand that we want a different conversation; one that focuses on unfinished business, including our experience of Maralinga; on the sickness that it created in our people and in the land; and the pain and loss that it caused. Our people need to have a future’.

The citizens’ jury was run by DemocracyCo, and more information about citizens’ juries and other research alternatives can be found at new Democracy.
