We also need to acknowledge that we as a species have set ourselves up to live a very comfortable lifestyle on this planet, but we have done this at a great cost to our environment. It’s time to take responsibility for our actions and stand up and be part of the exciting solutions that are happening all over the world especially the ones that are happening in Bendigo itself.
