Off the Air

Sorry there have been no postings of late but, after a very long and horrid illness, my husband passed away on the 5th April.

Give me a little time and I will be back to try and do my small part to fight climate change!

Christmas Lights

Well our solar electricity system was installed today and now we are just waiting for the Electricity company to come and instal their meter and we are ready to go!!

I have strung out some lights for Christmas - about 35 metres - and guess what they are all powered by the sun!

Its really great - they come up at dusk and turn themselves off at sunrise. They are tiny little fairy lights and I have hung most of them in the trees at the front and one string along the front verandah.

So now we are celebrating Christmas but without the cost of electricity or its side effects.

Climate Change and the Federal Election

Now that we finally have a date for the Federal Election it is time to bring Climate Change to the table. Please lobby your local politicians to find out their views on climate change and tell them your concerns.

Now is the time to show how important you think Climate Change is and don't sit on your hands. Get out there and demand that politicians listen!

REMEMBER MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT !!!

Please register with Change Climate Change and also join The Big Switch.

Solar Electricity

I have just signed up for Solar Electricity and hopefully it should be on the roof and up and running by the end of the month.

Our city (Blacktown) has been fortunate enough to be chosen as Blacktown Solar City by the Federal government and the residents are reaping the benefits with rebates on solar electricity and solar hot water. As we already had the hot water I have opted for the electricity as well.

Now you don't have to go as far as this - how about taking a couple of small steps in the right direction - change to energy efficient light globes, start a compost bin or just put a 'no junk mail' sticker on your letterbox!
