World Environment Day 2006


Solazone participated in the recent World Environment Day at Eumundi in S.E. Queensland. Judging by the comments passed by some of the attendees, this was a great day, enjoyed by all. Congratulations to the organisers and the great team of volunteers, who put in an immense effort to ensure the Maroochy Shire had a good display of sustainable living ideas.

If you missed the day, you missed the opportunity to taste some superb Montville Coffee along with wonderful food and company. Plenty of information was there, as well.

If you missed the Day, and have any questions, just call Ernest or Chris, who will be happy to help you out.

and remember, it's on again next year !
