Event Details

Canopy – Melbourne Green Roof Forum brings together people to share their passion, ideas and experience in greening our cities through green roofs, walls and other green urban infrastructure. 

Green Roofs and the Media

The way sustainability is portrayed in the media has changed considerably in recent years. From a hippy tie-dyed curiosity to the sleek and shiney 'new black' topic of the day. From an Inconvenient Truth of 4 years ago to the Climate Change doubters and skeptics that seem to be getting ever louder, the media's reaction to 'Sustainability' seems to be in a constant state of flux.
 
Join us to discover how three writers, publishers and broadcasters are helping to spread the Green Roof and sustainability message in the media and find out some tips and tricks to help let your sustainable stories reach a wider audience.
 

Mille Ross is a researcher and writer for ABC's Gardening Australia. She also regularly appears on 3CR's talk back Gardening Show. (Sundays -  7.30am - 9.15am on 855AM)  
Tamsin O'Neill is the founder and editor of sustainable architecture and landscape design magazine 'Green' published quarterly by Green Press.  
 

Stuart Harrison hosts the weekly architecture, design and sustainability show 'The Architects' on RRR (102.7FM Tuesday 7pm - 8pm). Stuarts day job is Director of Melbourne architecture practice Harrison & White.

 

Following the presentations we'll have our traditional 'open mic' session where you can ask a question, plug your business or share your experience with Green Roofs in Melbourne. Finger food will be served and drinks will be available to purchase at the bar.

 

Canopy is proudly supported by Weblow "We take the hard work out of landscaping"
