Jo Nameth will be discussing ethical economics and sharing her journey of living a moneyless life in an attempt to reduce her environmental and social footprint. Closing her bank account, quitting her job and getting rid of a lot of her stuff at the end of 2014, Jo took money out of the equation hoping that, without it, she would find it easier to live a low impact life. Her one loose rule is to not use new resources. Jo tries to use waste, unwanted, second-hand, homemade/grown resources and the excess of the world around her to decrease the need for more. She is a big advocate of sharing and collaboration at a local level.

Tyalgum Energy Project
The Tyalgum Energy Project is about creating a sustainable future not only for the village of Tyalgum but also about educating the wider community on renewable energy and sustainability. They believe the change needs to start somewhere, we don’t have forever unless something changes. The concept we are currently working on will be holistic in the views and not only be looking into the future but also into creative and sustainable options for waste, water usage and produce. A major part of this project will be taking Tyalgum off the grid and powering the community from their own renewable energy sources. This project has been supported by the NSW Government as part of the Office of Environment and Heritage Growing Community Energy Program – visit www.environment.nsw.gov.au Tyalgum Energy Project will be discussing all of this as presenters at O’Heart Fest this year. To learn more have a chat to the team at TEP at their stall next the Tyalgum General Store.
