Past events

10/10/10 – Switch Off Hazelwood
The 350 international day of climate action is here, and we’re heading to Morwell for the Switch Off Hazelwood protest, to show that not only is large scale renewable energy possible, its also fun! The Switch Off Hazelwood crew have been hard at work organising the building of a huge mock solar thermal array outside the gates of the power station, like the one featured of the front of BZE’s Zero Carbon Australia plan.

Climate Action Moreland will be heading down to the protest together, so email us at climateactionmoreland@gmail.com if you’re intending on going. Full details on the Switch Off Hazelwood website: http://www.switchoffhazelwood.org. Don’t forget to RSVP to let the organisers know you’re coming!

28/10/2010 – Brunswick Candidate’s QandA

Where do the state election candidates for Brunswick stand on climate change? CAM has joined forces with MEFL and Ceres to host our own version of ABC TVs Q&A. This is your chance to ask those hard questions of the people that want your vote – we certainly will be! See our events page for more information.

6/11/10 – Replace Hazelwood rally
We’ve come a long way in the campaign to Replace Hazelwood, but we’re still not quite there yet. In fact we’re only one quarter of the way! We want the Brumby government to announce the closure of all of Hazelwood before the election, so we need to show the depth of community support on this issue.
