Sustainable living exhibition: Durban | The Green Business Guide

Started in 2007, Imagine Durban Project is an initiative of the eThekwini Municipality. The project was started in partnership with Sustainable Cities International (SCI) and Sustainable International Network (SIN).

Imagine Durban Project, in partnership with SCI and SIN, is hosting the Sustainable Living Exhibition from 30 August to 1 September 2012 in Durban.

This event is undertaken as part of the second phase of Imagine Durban Project which focuses on facilitating actions that advance the strategic goals of eThekwini Long-Term Development Plan.

Purpose

Hosting of Sustainable Living Exhibition is premised on the fact that there are many initiatives being implemented by various organisations and individuals which contribute towards sustainable development and livelihoods within the Municipality; however they are not well profiled so as to inspire action by masses within the Municipality. Sustainable Living Exhibition aimed at showcasing such sustainability efforts, provide an opportune learning, sharing and networking experience to the broad section of public and inspire action at individual or community level.

Participants

The exhibition targets ordinary members of public with a special bias to school since they nurture future leaders. All sectors of the society including individuals, non-profit organisations, schools, government, state owned enterprises and businesses who are implementing initiatives that advance sustainable development are welcome to show case their work in the Exhibition.

All members of the society are welcome to visit the Exhibition and participate in all activities which are planned as part of the Exhibition.

Focus areas

Although the Exhibition seeks to provide a suitable space to share initiatives that advance the strategic goals of eThekwini Long Term Development Plan, there is emphasise on environmental sustainability and the exhibitors can showcase any of their initiatives on the following areas:

• Energy efficiency and Renewal energy;

• Water harvesting and conservation;
