Bangalow Climate Change activist group, Green Coast Catalysts, in conjunction with Don Page, Member for Ballina, will present a public forum focusing on renewable energy options on the morning of Sunday August 1 in the Bangalow A&I Hall. 


The event, running from 9.30am to 1pm, will be hosted by local journalist, Mick O’Regan. ‘The event starts with an overview of the situation we are faced with now, as Climate Change converges with Peak Oil,’ says Mr O’Regan. ‘Then it filters down to what forms of renewable energy are actually available in the Byron Shire right now, followed by our wish list for future possibilities.’

Morning tea and a light lunch will be available, catered by Bangalow Museum’s Heritage House Tearooms. Gold coin admission will help cover costs.

 Mick O’Regan will introduce a series of speakers, starting with the University of Wollongong lecturer Dr Adam Lucas, who will talk on ‘The Big Picture’. Speaking for the Australian Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO) will be David Warrilow.

For further information, contact Green Coast Catalysts’ Chris Sanderson on 6687 2244 or Don Page’s office on 6686 7522.
