ATA finalists in the Victorian Premier’s Community Award

The Alternative Technology Association (ATA) is a finalist in the community category of the Victorian Premier’s Sustainability Award.

Sustainability pioneers with a ‘can do’ attitude, the ATA has helped thousands of households combat the challenge of climate change.

Bringing a safe climate future forward

As part of the 2010 Sustainable Living Festival, the ATA brought together five expert speakers from a range of backgrounds (sustainable technology, community development, architecture, water managment and policy) to discuss what a sustainable Australia should look like in 2020 and how we can get there.
