1. Visit a market
During spring and summer, it can feel like there’s a market on almost every weekend in the district.
And these markets provide the perfect opportunity to support local producers and farmers, as well as contributing to less waste if you find a treasure that was someone else’s trash.
2. Volunteer
If you’ve got some spare time up your sleeve, why not join a volunteer group?
Local CFA brigades are always looking for new members.
Visit cfa.vic.gov.au/volunteer-careers to find your nearest station.
3. Shop local
It’s one of the simplest ways to ensure the money you earn stays in the local economy.
So, park your car and go for a walk along your town’s main street to see what’s on offer. On the weekend, enjoy a smashed avocado on toast with a coffee at one of the many local cafes.
