The Australian Industry Trade school recently sent 150 students and 10 instructors on a tour of The Ecovillage at Currumbin,. They learnt about the developer's experience, sustainable design practices, and the way the community operates to minimise environmental impact. They wrote "Ben O’Callaghan, resident and sustainability professional with over 20 years’ experience, and the team of guides, shared their experiences and practical tips on how to build sustainably for our future. Our students learnt many new sustainable initiatives and Ben’s Tesla electric car was especially a big HIT! We thank Ben and his team for their insight and passion to make our world a better place."
