With Climate Change and the need for energy efficiency nor firmly entrenched in the Western Consciousness, more and more people are making decisions in all areas of life that are environmentally sustainable. One area that has experienced real advances in sustainability is housing. The use of solar power and water recycling are just two examples of sustainable housing. Tim Brunero spoke to Sarah Bachmann and Maxine Jones and Tim asked them about the Sustainable House Website.

Here at Radio Adelaide we like to think we’re pretty trendy. We always know the latest bands, we are up with the latest fashion trends. And we’re always at the hippest plays and tweeting or facebooking away on the latest social networking sites. In fact we’re more than trendy – we like to think we’re actually ahead of the latest trend. We were getting back into lawn bowling, way before all the young people started going to play barefoot bowls at the local bowling club. We were busy knitting before the latest knitting craze hit our shores some years ago, and we were swapping our conventional bikes for fixies months before all the hipsters starting doing it. So when we tell you we may have picked up the latest trend you better listen carefully. We think the card game Bridge may well be the latest coolest thing that in a few months everyone will be gagging to get into, and if we’re right that would make Barbara Travis probably the coolest person in Adelaide right now, and Tim Brunero spoke to her about the game of Bridge – and Omar Sharif!

What role do you think big business can play in saving our planet? Giselle Weybrecht is a business person and a “Greenie”, and she believes the businesses can help save our environment. She will be coming to the Earth Station Eco-Festival in October, and Time Brunero spoke to her on the line from the United Kingdom.
Worldwide almost 850 million people are chronically hungry due to extreme poverty, while up to 2 billion people lack food security intermittently due to varying degrees of poverty. With world population numbers set to hit 9 billion within 40 years, and an increased pressure on food production through climate change, food security has become a major concern for many as well as a troublesome dilemma for world leaders. This week the South Australian Farmers Federation (SAFF) hold their annual keynote conference with the theme “Feast or Famine: Food production for the next 30 years – Challenges. Threats. Opportunities”.
The SAFF believes South Australia is well placed to play a significant role in sustainable food security, and Tim Brunero spoke to SAFF President, Peter White about the problem.

If you’ve passed through Rundle Mall on a Friday night lately, you’ve probably seen a bunch of street preachers holding big signs and shouting in the name of God. The group is notorious for their in-your-face attitude in spreading their beliefs, and have been accused of threatening, insulting and intimidating passers-by. But last Friday night the preachers were drowned out by a message of peace and love, with about a hundred protesters coming together to try and rid the Mall of these so-called fanatics. Tom Angley from Streetcast went to the rally to find out what all the fuss was about, and Tim Brunero airs what happened.
