One of the key requirements for sustainable living is for all of us to reduce the amount of energy we consume. No amount of solar panels will get us out of trouble if we keep consuming energy at ever increasing rates. Significant energy savings can come from simply being more efficient in the way we use energy. Now the CSIRO has launched the Energymark program in conjunction with Brisbane City Council’s Green Heart environmental sustainability program which aims to make Brisbane a carbon-neutral city by 2026.
Energymark involves groups of households getting together for 8 meetings. These meetings are lead by a group coordinator and are supported by CSIRO energy experts who can help the group through any problems they face. It is a practical course and Transition The Grove has registered as a group convener. We are open to participants in our local community.
“Energymark is helping households and communities reduce their carbon footprints lower energy usage and save on power bills. The program brings people together in small groups to learn about energy and climate change issues and discuss what they can do to make a difference…“
You dont need to know a lot about energy and climate change to participate.
