Sustainable Living Armidale (SLA) is a group of people committed to bringing about the changes needed at the community level to improve resilience in the face of the twin challenges of peak oil and climate change. Examples of such changes are: increasing local food production, developing businesses that utilise local resources to provide for local needs, reduction of fossil fuel consumption and so on. SLA grew out of the Ideas Into Action Workshops that were part of the inaugural Sustainable Living Expo in 2007. We are affiliated with the worldwide transition movement.
