Every year the Smart Living and Building Expo donates the money raised from its Auction and Raffle to a sustainable cause.
This year they have generously donated $1,500 to the BREAZE social solar program.
The Smart Building and Living Expo showcases local sustainable building and lifestyle services and products for people planning to build or retrofit sustainable homes, and those interested in sustainable transport, lifestyle and food choices.
It runs on the last Sunday in February each year, in Buninyong. and provides an opportunity for the community to come and talk about all things sustainable.
While presenting the cheque to Paul Duggan, board member of BREAZE, Andrea Mason , director of the expo said:
"The successful Auction and Raffle team, led by Belinda Wardle were excited to donate this money to the social solar program. It is great to see the benefits of efficient, cheap and clean solar power being able to be used across the whole community."
In response Paul stated that "It was encouraging to see that public events like the expo and the Rainbow Serpent Festival were supporting both the community and sustainability. It is great to get businesses community groups and individuals involved in this project."
The Social Solar committee will confirm shortly the projects that will be benefiting from this donation.
