I don’t know if I mentioned this so it may be news to some. A TV crew from Channel 7 New came over last Wednesday to film a story about how we live a more sustainable lifestyle. They were here for about 3 hours, and took lots of footage both outside and in.
I have been informed that it is airing tonight in Melbourne, Victoria, Adelaide, South Australia, and Perth, Western Australia during the nightly news bulletin somewhere in between 6 and 7 pm.
So if you are from Melbourne, Adelaide, or Perth and have come through to the blog, a big hearty Welcome to the Greening of Gavin blog and podcast!
There is lots to see and learn from the blog. Check out the About page to get a feel for what it is about, then browse through the menu items above and see what takes your fancy.
