ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic

ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic makes it easier for your school to take a whole-of-school approach to embedding sustainability. ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic helps your school minimise waste, save energy and water, improve biodiversity and cut your greenhouse gas emissions. The ResourceSmart AuSSI Vic framework has been developed by Sustainability Victoria.
