Creating Tasmania's Future
Q & A Discussions
What will Tasmania look like in 25 years? Our economy, community, and land use? How will we move around, power our cities and what will we eat? A remarkable line-up of prominent Tasmanians and experts explored these questions and more as part of our series of Q & A style discussions at SLE 2011.
The objective of these sessions was to explore both the opportunities and challenges of creating sustainable lifestyles and livelihoods in our Island State. We hope to have some follow-up activities in the new year, to build upon these discussions. If you are interested in more information, please email us.
