An exhibition of inspiring work by people who have experienced road trauma opens in November.

Picture This is an exhibition giving TAC clients the opportunity to share their experiences of road trauma through art. The exhibition is for people who were artists before their accident, have taken up art since or have included art therapy in their rehabilitation.

This is the first time the TAC has held an art exhibition for clients. Several of the artists have significant injuries from road trauma, including quadriplegia and acquired brain injuries (ABI). Exhibition visitors can vote for their favourite works in the People's Choice Award.

The exhibition is in Geelong from November 11 to 17 (TAC building, Level 2, 60 Brougham St, Geelong) and in Melbourne from November 20 to 29, at 15 William Street.

SEA LEVEL RISE WALK  - 'Port Phillip Rising'

21- 27 November 2009

The sea is already rising at an increasing rate because of climate change.
Scientists are predicting seas will rise globally by more than a metre by the end of this century, and perhaps much more. For example, melting of the Greenland ice sheet is accelerating, it contains the equivalent of about seven metres of sea-level rise. Around the world many thousands of communities will be lost, millions of people will be displaced, and the map of the continents will be changed forever.

Walk to the eastern side of Port Phillip Bay in Victoria, marking the one metre line above the current sea level to highlight the impacts of sea level rise on people, communities and landscapes along the way. Sorrento - Port Melbourne, November 21 - 27
We aim to walk between 15 and 20 kilometres a day, and we welcome local people and organisations to join us for sections of the walk. We will hold a number of public forums on the way (possibly one in the southern Peninsula, one in Frankston, one in St Kilda). We aim to finish the walk at Port Melbourne, where we will hold a press conference.

The walk has been initiated by Friends of the Earth Melbourne in partnership with the Victorian Climate Action Centre.

We hope you can join us

After the successful Green Renters workshop at the Melbourne Social Forum in April we will be starting a run of three at CERES in East Brunswick from the 5th of September.

The workshops are a practical and lively discussion of ideas on greening up your rental property. We step through the typical rental property area by area, looking in detail at what you can do as well as general lifestyle changes. There will be demonstrations and samples of some of our favourite recipes and tutorials to try and take away, showing you just how easy it is to achieve noticeable and tasty results!

The last workshop is :
21st November

All workshops run from 1 - 4pm and cost $25/$15 CERES members/concession

Green renters is a website for those striving to lead sustainable and ecological existences within the confines of rental property. Frustrated by constantly attending conferences and exhibitions that only provide products and advice to home owners, the website provides hints and tips for those who are unable to make major changes to a property but still intend to spend many years and call somewhere home.

We’re open for contributors, ideas, comments and proposals for projects, especially conversations about policy relating to renters and landlords.

Alongside the web site green renters is available for workshops, stalls, presentations and panels with a whole host of tips, advice and home made goodies.
