"In 2005 a team of 10 individuals with a passion for sustainable living came together to deliver an education campaign to inspire and engage school groups and the broader community on issues and actions toward sustainability. Over 5 months we cycled more than 4500km between Brisbane and Hobart, performing a comical skit to 3000 school students and hosting many public information stalls.
This year the education journey will commence in mid August in Sydney and finish in Hobart in mid December. We are now building the team for 2006 and there are many opportunities for you to contribute or get involved, such as:
Join as a core team rider, an exciting opportunity to develop your community education and team building skills and work with others who are passionate about sustainable living.
For those with less time to spare, join the action as a stage rider for two weeks or more.
Apply your passion for sustainability education to help develop a range of education and curriculum materials.
Contribute content for our evolving website.
Join our mailing list to receive inspiring project updates, 'Postcards from the road'.
SLF home base support - we are also looking for a dedicated individual to provide home base support with the SLF team. This would involve some volunteer work either at the SLF office in Melbourne and/or at home, assisting the road team with liaising with schools, community groups and identifying media opportunities.
Being involved in this project is your chance to inspire others and 'be the change you wish to see in the world' (Gandhi)
