Around 200 community members and families enjoyed the Northern Sydney Institute’s Ryde Campus and the City of Ryde’s free Sustainable Transport Open Day on Mother’s Day.
The event was run and planned by students studying the Advanced Diploma of Applied Environmental Management and showcased workshops, talks, displays, information stalls and a variety of different methods of sustainable transport you can use for a healthier, greener environment.
Phil Stewart, Organiser and Applied Environmental Management Teacher said that the day was a great opportunity for people to get a better understanding of the growing range of practical sustainable transport options.
“All of the workshops, displays and demonstrations really illustrated the different sustainable solutions we can implement to face the challenges of the future,” he said.
“It was great to see so many kids learning about bike maintenance and the adults receiving important information on anything from specific sustainable transport in Ryde to personal mobility devices.
“From skateboards to electric cars and bikes, and even unicycles, we encourage everyone to make a change so future generations can enjoy this wonderful country,” said Phil.
