SPOTLIGHT ON URBAN SUSTAINABILIY
The Greens Member for Denison Cassy O’Connor MP has congratulated everyone who took part in Walk to Work Day and PARK(ing) Day today.
Ms O’Connor said both events are a simple way to promote the idea of creating healthier, more liveable cities.
“PARK(ing) Day is a really fun and light hearted way to make people stop and think about the importance of creating a friendlier, more vibrant city,” Ms O’Connor said.
“Walk to Work Day promotes a very important message about the importance of health and sustainability in an urban environment.”
“We need to start thinking about our urban spaces as places not just for cars and trucks but for people first and foremost.”
“Hobart would already have to be one of the world’s most liveable cities, but we can always find ways to make it better.”
“I applaud the work of everyone involved in these events for taking time out to promote the importance of urban sustainability at a local community level.”
