Join the revolution!
We have a fantastic opportunity in Australia and locally here in Orange, to lead the world on climate while saving money and improving the health of our families.
60% of Australia’s emissions are domestic and the largest portion of domestic emissions are our households (42.4%). Almost all of these emissions come from the machines in our daily lives (i.e. petrol cars, gas heaters, gas water heaters, gas stoves, etc), and the fossil fuel power plants attached to Australia’s electricity grid.
We have access to the cheapest delivered electricity in the world – our rooftop solar – and this abundant energy can electrify our homes, which in turn can save us money, help improve our health, and lower our emissions. This can happen if we plan ahead and transition to electric power when we need to replace our cars, heaters, stoves and other fossil fuel machines over the coming years.
Who we are
We are a group of locals living in the 2800 postcode with a passion for taking practical climate action, lowering our carbon emissions, and helping others to do so.
- Our group exists under the auspices of ECCO.
- We aim to help individual households and businesses begin their transition to an all electrical energy future powered by renewables.
- Our mission is to deliver practical climate progress through our research, advocacy, and working on the ground with communities to electrify everything.
