November 18th, 2008 — energy saving, solar
Another Waterworks household has decided to install solar photovolatic system (guess who?).
Meanwhile, we all need to press for better feed-in tariffs (how much you get paid for surplus power), so that more people are attracted to go solar. And we have an opportunity to do just that.
The Tasmanian Government has issued a discussion paper (click HERE to download) on a proposal for a national feed-in tariff . This Monday (24th) is deadline for your feedback.
Meanwhile, the federal senate has just released its report (click HERE to download), generally favouring a unified national approach.
So please do take up the opportunity to have your say.

And…. the Princes Street school veggie garden looks great and is exciting a lot of interest within the school community. So thanks to all those Waterworks folks who have contributed.
November 14th, 2008 — landcare + faunacare
Road kill numbers were very low throughout the winter but have started to pick up again. So please drive slowly from dusk to dawn during the summer months.

Please contact Sebastian if you would like a copy of Google Earth file with details of where and when the accidents are occurring.
