Energy – it’s essential for our daily living, and also an important ingredient for taking climate action and reducing our greenhouse gas emissions. This workshop will explore what actions we can take as individuals to reduce our electricity use (and bills), how we can support our friends and communities in steps towards sustainable, renewable energy and how we might influence the broader community and leaders for climate action.

Featuring expert insights from Home Energy Advisor and consultant Seb Crangle along with Tweed Shire Council, we will spend some time embracing participants' passions to help design better solutions and education programs.

If you are:

Just starting out on saving energy?

We can help you and your insights will help others just like you.
