Welcome one and all to this month’s edition of Brilliant-online. With World Environment Day and World Oceans Day both taking place earlier this month, we decided to focus our attention on the topic of sustainability and how we can all work towards a greener, healthier future for us and our planet.

As well as profiling these two events, we meet the team from Phuket-based The FinArts who are using beautifully crafted shark sculptures to aid shark and marine conservation projects. We also look at how the international sports world is lending its weight to driving positive eco-friendly progression, meeting a professional football team who are at the forefront of the movement who play in a kit made entirely of bamboo!

Our very own Veronica Lind delights by recounting her recent visit to Spain, specifically focusing on the innovative sustainability measures that are being employed in the country, in amongst savouring thebeautiful cuisine and local atchitecture on offer.

Closer to home we learn how WickWorming has made sustainable gardening easier with their plant boxes, and meet the latest hubstar at Wauchope Creative Hub CJ Grootenboer to learn about her recycling drive. We also meet the avid antiques and collectibles team at Port Pickers and take a trip to the dentist with Dr Raj Singh of Ocean Dental.

Elsewhere, we meet the team behind SupPort Macquarie’s disability support and education programme catering for young adults and catch up with headspace and profile the great work they are also doing for youngsters in relation to mental health. These are just the tip of the iceberg and there is so much more to enjoy this month as we once again provide a smorgasboard of Brilliant stories! We hope you enjoy...
