FutureCanvas-GlobalConversation

Future Canvas is a global web of projects and ideas which spark people to live sustainably everyday. We would like to start a global conversation and action on living sustainably everyday.

We are based in Melbourne, Australia from a waterside warehouse in a central part of the city. In this warehouse we will be designing a space for creative people in Melbourne to vision and design a sustainable future.
We want to know how you are making a difference in your community and share this with other people around the world.

Is your contribution around the topic of 'food'; i.e. making an organic food garden, permaculture garden or making your own bread?

Is your contribution around the topic of 'housing'; installing solar panels, rainwater tanks or thinking feng shui in your home?

Is your contribution around the topic of 'transport'; riding your bike, car sharing or walking to work?

Is your contribution around the topic of 'wellbeing'; practicing yoga, meditation, playing music or participating actively in community life?

Is your contribution around the topic of 'fashion'; making your own clothes chemically free, alternative brand choices or buying vegan friendly clothing?

Or is your contribution around the topic of 'community'; looking after elderly, supporting mothers with children, caring for members in your family or groups of friends, helping the disadvantaged, being active in a community group or keeping an eye out for your fellow citizens?

Soon Future Canvas will be posting some inspiring stories on how we see people all around the world making creative choices to live sustainably everyday. We would like you to respond and start a global conversation on how we can act in an empowered and creative way for a sustainable future. Look forward to hearing from you!
