Sustainability WA is a travelling exhibition that will visit more than 30 regional centres throughout Western Australia between February and May 2002. This exhibition, created by the Department of Premier and Cabinet and MuseumLink at the Western Australian Museum, tells the stories of people who are working now to achieve a sustainable future. They are tales of Sustainability in Action…

The Earth and our part of it in Western Australia has many questions hanging over it…
Population – Can the rapid growth of world’s population be sustained?
Climate Change – Can we reduce greenhouse gas emissions from our usage of coal, oil and gas, and from land clearing?
Loss of Species – Can WA prevent the loss of many species close to extinction?
Salinity – Can we avoid losing a third of the Wheatbelt to rising salt?
Water – Can we adapt to reduced rainfall seasons in the long term?
Settlements – Can we make our suburbs and towns more environmentally friendly?
Jobs – Can we change in a way that creates more jobs?
Quality of Life – Can we do this and be healthier and happier in our communities as well?
To address these issues we must link environmental and community goals with economic development

A Sustainable future for Western Australia would be:
• More Prosperous
• More Just
• Cleaner and Healthier and
• Less Demanding on the Earth
It would offer a better quality of life for us, our children and our grandchildren and would contribute to a better world.
The State Sustainability Strategy tries to help us deal with these issues…
