At Happy Earth, we’re on an adventure in urban sustainability, exploring how we can retrofit a typical house and lawn into a healthy, efficient home with an abundant food garden. For us being sustainable is really about living happier, healthier lives and feeling good about doing things that are good for us, the planet and our community. It’s about wholesome food and lower bills, meaning more time for family and friends, and less time working. 

Happy Earth is also about sharing stories and providing practical, independent information about sustainable living in Wollongong.

The Happy Humans busy creating Happy Earth:

Rich
If someone’s outside your yard peering inquisitively at your fruit trees, please don’t turn the hose on them - it’s probably self-confessed fruit nut Rich, researching what fruit trees grow well in the local area. In between working full time as a bush regenerator and home energy consultant, Rich makes plenty of time to talk to his latest sub-tropical fruit tree.

 

Ally
If you are walking the streets of Wollongong and hear an echo of laughter, that’s likely to be Ally. Passionate about creating healthy, sustainable communities, Ally enjoys working full time in environmental education, sharing yummy homemade food and keeping an eye out for local wildlife.

 

Family and friends
Happy Earth would not be what it is without the fantastic support of all our wonderful family and friends - thank you so much!
