'Going Circular' is the theme of this year's Sustainable Living Festival, an initiative by the Tamar Natural Resource Management.
There is so much happening at this year's Sustainable Living Festival. From serious conversations about electrifying your home to knitting, test-driving electric vehicles, learning how to manage your rubbish bins, becoming waste-free, making preserves and ferments, and how we can all make steps to 'Going Circular'.
The aim of the Sustainable Living Festival is to connect community members, businesses and organisations with projects, initiatives, processes and pathways to encourage households and businesses to adopt sustainable circular practices.
The Sustainable Living Festival will be held March 2, 10am-4pm at the Tramsheds Function Centre and Inveresk Precinct. Entry is free. For more information visit https://www.tamarnrm.com.au/festival.

Ocean Film Festival World Tour
March 7
The Ocean Film Festival World Tour, now in its 11th year, is back this February with a captivating lineup of awe-inspiring films that explore the wonders of the ocean from both aerial and underwater perspectives. This year promises to be the most exhilarating yet, with seven films set to grace the silver screen, including three featuring Australian talent.
The Ocean Film Festival World Tour includes a unique selection of films of varying lengths and styles covering topics such as ocean adventure and exploration, the oceanic environment, marine creatures, ocean related sports, coastal cultures and ocean lovers.
One of the highlights of the festival is the gripping tale of record breaking Australian sailor Lisa Blair in her film Ice Maiden. Embarking on a daring solo adventure, Lisa sets out to achieve the unprecedented feat of becoming the first woman to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica.
The festival also proudly features a diverse array of films, including the heartwarming story of a surfing dog from Melbourne, a captivating anecdote of a Senegalese family with a rich maritime heritage, The Whale Song, an enchanting documentary that delves into the remarkable communication abilities of humpback whales through song.
