Coming Events
Your 2030 Home and Neighbourhood
Big changes are coming to the way we generate, use and store energy at home. Are you 2030 ready? If our local, state and national governments are on the ball there will also be significant changes to the way our neighbourhoods look. What needs to change and who is responsible?
What should our neighbourhoods look like in 2030? Will your new EV be your home battery? What about vehicle to grid possibilities? And what about virtual power plants to help coordinate demand reduction? These questions and more will be answered by our expert speakers.
The Forest Wars – A Conversation
Since colonisation, Australians have been frantically logging our native forests as if our lives depended on it. Our lives do depend on the forests—but on keeping them, not destroying them. World-leading forest expert Professor David Lindenmayer uncovers the grim truth about what is happening in our tall eucalypt forests in his new book, 'The Forest Wars', Allen and Unwin, 2024.
The Forest Wars lifts the lid on destruction of native forests by government corporations and the logging industry that is making bushfires worse, killing wildlife and costing taxpayers millions, for the sake of woodchips for export. Join Prof. David Lindenmayer and Dr. Monique Ryan as they delve into the thought-provoking insights of the book.
