On the weekend I had the chance to head to East Brunswick, a northern suburb of Melbourne, and visit CERES – Centre for Education and Research in Environmental Strategies. It sounds like a mouthful, but I had no idea what CERES meant until I just googled it. In a nutshell it’s an environmental initiative that began in the early 1980s,
