In the lead up to World Environment Day,
5 June 2006, the Department of Environment and Conservation NSW ran a competition asking people what sustainability meant to them.

The NSW wide competition was developed with a network of partners providing prizes to a total value of over $50,000.

The competition culminated in a prize giving ceremony at Parliament House on 5 June 2006 where of the 545 responses received, our winner, Tracey Mackie from Blayney, NSW had this to say:

Sustainability is to me,
Keeping Earth healthy and pollutant free!
Thinking of actions we take and decisions we make,
Making positive choices for Earth's sake!

Start thinking green in our homes today,
Use less water, turn off lights, recycle away!
Plant more trees. Walk don't drive!
Sustainability. Keeping Earth alive!
