Our aim is to help the community understand the challenge of climate change and global warming, and to provide information and support to encourage grass roots action in response to the global crisis facing us all. We are a group of concerned individuals on the far south coast of New South Wales volunteering our time and effort to address climate change. Bega, Eurobodalla and Snowy River Shires have adopted local targets of 50% energy reduction and 50% renewable energy by 2020. Voluntary working groups will help us achieve these targets.
Our tactics:
Think Tank - generate ideas, proposals, policies on community-owned clean energy actions
Engage People - provide opportunities for people from all walks of life to lend an hand in making a difference on climate change
Awareness - promote high profile symbolic events that raise the profile of climate change and encourage positive change
Information - produce regular articles and interviews for local newspapers and radio, encourage public forums, debates and talks at schools
Funding - support relevant organisations and community partnerships to pursue funding options for clean energy projects
