Motivating and enabling the Top End community to live sustainably is at the core of what we do at ECNT.
To ECNT, to live sustainably means to consciously make decisions about how our lifestyles impact on our local communities and the planet. This can be as easy as:
- Shopping locally
- Eating locally and seasonally
- Being energy efficient
- Conserving water
- Reducing waste
- Shopping secondhand
- Choosing ethical brands and companies
- Eating less meat
- Growing food at home
- Creating habitats at home for local wildlife
- Reducing car use, and biking, walking or taking the bus
- Going solar in your own home
- Getting involved in local action against environmentally and socially damaging projects and issues
