Renwable Energy Policy Workshop, 26-27 February 2011

An invitation from Lindsay Soutar , Campaign Coordinator 100% Renewable Community Campaign:

“Hi all,

I’ve just got back from a whirlwind visit to those hotbeds of climate action in regional Victoria – Castlemaine and Ballarat – and have been working with Dean and Andrew to firm up the 100% Renewable campaign plans for early 2011.

These plans include more joint letters to independents, online actions at the climate committee, surveying, doorknocking, letterboxing, making clear we’ll need measures beyond a carbon price if we want to build new renewables and raising a storm for a few lucky targeted MPs (maybe yours?!)…

But there’s no chance the existing 100% campaign team can make all this happen all on our own… We need your skills, ideas, creativity, hopes and dreams!

So to bring these in we’ve pulled together a workshop series for folk who are serious about winning strong renewable energy policy in 2011.

The Sydney workshop will be on 26-27 February 2011, Central Sydney venue TBD

Over 50 groups from all states and territories – from Wagga to Woodend, Cairns to Hobart, Tweed to Townsville have already registered to join the workshop series. These workshops are an important opportunity to plan how we can work together to ensure Australia starts to give renewable energy a fair go in 2011.

We’ll have top facilitators from The Change Agency, Karen Skinner the awesome union organiser that some of you will know and the 100% campaign team.
