Zoë Mohl won the Sustainability Award at the Greater Dandenong Australia Day Awards in recognition of her efforts to help everyone live more sustainably. 

The Canadian native and mother of two has brought her passion of the three R’s – reduce, reuse, recycle – to her new home, and is sharing her love for the environment. 

“The connections I have made in the community are amazing. We need to be more vocal and demand change,” Zoë said. 

She shares sustainable living tips through the Friends of Victoria Avenue Reserve Group and a monthly clothing swap at Springvale Community Hub. 

“If we provide the community with more options and show them how easily we can make changes then they could wake up tomorrow and make a choice for change. Every little bit helps,” Zoë said. 

The Springvale Community Hub Clothes Swap is held on the second Saturday of every month, at 5 Hillcrest Grove, Springvale, from 1pm–3pm.
