A GREAT deal of interest is being generated in climate change, and the need to respond. In SE NSW that interest needs to be turned into action. 2007 needs to be the year that we start making changes that reduce our carbon footprint.
With the Tathra Surf Club, we have seen how quickly renewable energy can be installed. The speed at which renewable energy can be set up is one of its biggest selling points. We need to move fast. In the words of Arnold Scharzenegger "the debate is over. We see the threat. And we know the time for action is now" Arnie is in charge of the eight biggest economy in the world.
When it comes to clean energy, what are the practical options for us in SE NSW? What is going to make a difference and how much is it going to cost? A renewable energy expo in Jindabyne will showcase what is on offer. People from the South Coast are invited.
The first Snowy Mountains Renewable Energy And Climate Change Expo will be held in Banjo Paterson Park, Jindabyne, on Sunday, February 11, from gam to 3pm and there is no entrance fee. The park will be filled with a diversity of displays and information stalls.
Go along and see electric cars and an electric scooter, displays of solar panels and wind turbines. Find out about renewable fuels or how much a solar hot water system will cost you.
Gather information on climate change and what you can do to help. Attend the presentation of Al Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth" or find out about sustainable building and much more. This expo is a must for everyone.
