The Sydney Theatre Company are leading the way towards a sustainable future with their Greening the Wharf scheme. This massive project incorporates water, energy and structural strategies for limiting the Wharf and STC's environmental impact - a wise choice, given the company's vulnerability to rising water levels.

Starting in February, the initiative will also include a series of free talks that focus specifically on climate change and sustainability, in an effort to spread proactive environmental trends beyond the theatre space. Presented by the Wentworth Group of Concerned Scientists, these talks will be delivered by guest speakers throughout the year.

Kick-starting the program is Dr Peter Crosier, a Founding Member of the Concerned Scientists, who will be giving a timely presentation on managing carbon emissions.
