There are many ways in which you can choose to become involved and help to preserve the special environment of Seagrove.

Sustainable gardening - Urban Landcare can provide personalised advice on garden design, plant selection and placement, bird-friendly gardening, and how to minimise the need for maintenance and watering.

Recycling - Kerbside recycling of glass, paper and plastic is available at Seagrove.

Using energy wisely - An average household spends around $1,300 each year on energy bills. Much of this is spent on heating (50%) and hot water (25%), with the rest being spent on refrigeration, lighting and cooking appliances. By selecting the most energy efficient appliances and by using energy wisely, you can save hundreds of dollars, enjoy a comfortable home throughout the year and reduce greenhouse pollution.

Solar power - A solar water heater can reduce your energy bill by $200 - $300 each year for the average family. Newer split-system solar water heaters mean it is no longer necessary to have an unsightly tank mounted on your roof. You can also be eligible to receive a rebate (called Renewable Energy Certificates) on the purchase of a solar water heater, which may be worth as much as $1,500 depending on the system selected - the supplier of your solar water heater will have more information.

Responsible pet ownership - Seagrove is home to a rich variety of native birds, as well as frogs, small lizards and mammals such as bats and echidnas. By being a responsible pet owner, and keeping your dog or cat securely within your property, you can help to keep our native birds and animals safe.
