The Friends of the McKay Gardens are endeavoring to keep Brimbank Green, soak up that CO2 and reduce ambient temperatures. We would really like to be associated with your site and will add you to our links and hope you will return the favor.
We are also holding our AGM on November 29th between 2-3pm at the McKay Gardens in Sunshine (Anderson Road). We always welcome new members.
Hi Cathy,
I know it’s been a long time coming but I’ve added your site to our links list.
I’ve been really flat out over the past few weeks. Anyway, if you send out a notice about your meeting schedule for 2009 I’ll endeavour to get along to a meeting.
Is there a way we can start pressuring the council do something about its own emissions? I bet they do a really poor job of recycling cardboard and paper waste and cutting down on electricity use.
They could really do more with solar and wind energy alternatives on the expanses of roof-top space the council’s buildings would cover.
When is the Council going to hand down the greenhouse gas emissions reduction audit? I would be surprised to see Brimbank City Council being so progressive as to introduce the needed measures to reduce it emissions.
The Network is considering what to do now after the federal government’s decision to close the various rebates for solar and renewable energy. Keep an eye out for our announcement about our plans to progress the uptake of renewable energy by the Brimbank community, including and especially the city council.
Hello,
The National Museum of Australia recently launched Changing Places, an online project aiming to generate discussion about the cultural dimensions of climate change.
Changing Places invites people to upload contemporary or historic photos that show how anthropogenic climate change is changing places they know and love.
We ask people to note how they feel about these changes. We also ask if these changes are influencing their thoughts about the role of people in the world.
Have a look at the site: http://www.flickr.com/groups/changingplaces/.
Changing Places offers a rare opportunity to discuss the cultural and emotional dimensions of global climate change, at a local scale.
I’d be grateful if you could circulate this email throughout your networks.
Many thanks,
Dr George Main
Curator
National Museum of Australia
