ZEN’s Race to Zero helping schools reduce emissions
Schools across the Noosa Shire are utilising their real time energy data to learn about energy efficiency through Zero Emissions Noosa’s exciting initiative Race to Zero.
The program utilises a mix of direct curriculum teaching with week by week lesson plans and a gamified approach which shows students how their real time energy decisions impact on emissions.
ZEN President Vivien Griffin said, “Schools are high energy consumers and the chance to curb wasteful energy use is important to the goal of reducing emissions across Noosa shire.“
Support the Local Power Plan initiative
The Plan will assist regional communities around Australia by providing funding and technical assistance for communities to implement their own renewable energy projects, in their own communities. Renewable energy is a great opportunity to boost regional economies throughout Australia.
The Plan has been developed through a community co-design process by Helen Haines, Independent MP for Indi, her staff and communities with renewable energy projects across Australia.
