CAN is here for people of all walks of life to be a part of the solution.

Your input and involvement in creating a low emissions future is vital to the future of our region and the planet. Please join CAN on our common path towards a truly sustainable future.

Talk by NSW Greens MP John Kaye Wed 27th May

 

Climate Action Newcastle presents
a free talk by John Kaye, Greens NSW MP

 

CPRS and the Transition to a
Sustainable Economy

 

"The CPRS in its current
form does little to drive the transition to a low carbon
economy. Instead, the scheme pays polluters and fails to make
the emissions cuts necessary to protect against climate
change.  John will talk about creating the new green,
jobs-rich economy and actions that can be taken to achieve
it."

Smart Energy Expo

The Smart Energy Expo Newcastle 2008 was held on 29th and 30th November 2008 at the Honeysuckle Boiler Shop, Newcastle.

It was a great success!

Many interested people from all over the Hunter came to talk to the exhibitors and find out what they could do to make their homes and their lives more energy efficient.

If you missed it, watch out for the next Smart Energy Expo, coming to you in 2009.
