Local Actions Have Global Consequences 

The Benalla Sustainable Future Group was established in 2010 by Benalla & District residents concerned about environmental sustainability and the lack of action on climate change both locally & nationally.  By coming together we can work towards a more sustainable future & a cleaner planet. 

BSFG Review 2022 - Action Group Reports

BSFG Newsletter #33 - August 2022

​In  our August Newsletter,  Peter Holmes suggests 'the early signs of the new government are promising, without being entirely convincing'.  Peter recommends writing  to politicians and newspapers stressing that any new mines will make it impossible for Australia to honour its emission reduction target. Ian Herbert's contributions include 'Australia's First Commercial Thermal Energy Storage', 'Sustainability: Whose responsibility is it?'; 'Methane and Dodgy Accounting' ("It's time to stop burying our heads in a fracking well'); and 'Random Thoughts on (De) Growth'; while Peter Maddock  has written on 'Retrofitting Older Buildings', 'Ecological Sustainable Development and Planning' and the 'Time Value of Carbon'.
