What is ecologically sustainable development?
Sustainable means for a society to continue indefinitely. Beyond this broad definition what are the conditions, qualities and goals to support the sustainable future you would like to experience?

Life depends on cycles
Everything we consume comes from our environment. Our lives and industries are part of big natural cycles. Take a closer look at these cycles.

City Living
See how our homes, products, industry, transport, consumption and production can be more sustainable. See also Young designer for students and those interested in sustainable design.

Nurturing the land
The security of our food is vital. Are we adding a dangerous level of salt to our diet? Explore the connections of soil, water and biodiversity.

Living on the edge-the coast
Is aquaculture the answer to our diminishing fish stocks and other marine species? How can people working together make a change?

Measuring well being
Social values can and do change. What information and inspiration do we need to make these changes?

Online Interactives
Explore pathways to sustainability by playing these online interactives. How big is your ecological footprint? What future do you want for your town?

Nioaka  
Nioaka is a native grass that makes a fine lawn in coastal areas and needs very little watering. It uses only half the amount of water that's soaked up by more traditional lawns. Photo by Powerhouse Museum (Jean-Francois Lanzarone)
