The panels will be:

Mount Alexander working towards safe climate and landscape; towards water and food relocalisation; towards ensured livelihood; towards community well being/ensured lifestyles.

Our United Nations World Environment Day Awards 2008 and the Sustainability Group 'Carbon Heroes' posters  will be on display.
