approved!

The installation of solar panels on our apartment roof was approved today. It follows successful receipt of a council grant and a just in time application to receive the nsw government feed in tariff before the scheme was revoked at midnight last night.
The solar panels reduces our carbon footprint but more importantly is an opportunity to involve our owners as a community and to get active on working towards a sustainable future.
Regards,
Sharon

David Suzuki

I saw David Suzuki at the Opera House last night.  I'd seen him once before when he published "The Sacred Balance".  Seeing him talk is inspirational because he is able to describe climate change in common sense terms. It makes me want to change how I'm living now. It's hard. Our normal life is what seems to be the sensible thing to do and it's a bit frightening to step out to do something different.  It doesn't matter what really, or that I feel quite inequipped. But I do feel the need to try.
