Life on the Edge

Julie-Anne is the second person to become a resident Windgrove refugee; a program that enables professional people a chance to be nutured at Windgrove for a period of two weeks to two months while they focus their attention on the healing of our human connection to this earth.

Julie-Anne Lacko can be seen sitting on the stairs to the “penthouse deck” above the Peace bus preparing a conference/workshop outline about the Australian coal industry. If we acknowledge that our society's reliance on coal is not going to disappear overnight, the question we might ask is how can we make the coal industry as sustainable as possible? The conference Julie is helping to organize will be looking at minimising the social impact of mining and the environmental effects of mining and processing coal which is used to make electricity and  steel. A big task.
