With fuel prices rising steadily, it’s time for us to embrace electric vehicles. But finding independent advice can be tricky!

This online event will give you the information you need to go electric, presented by energy experts Renew on behalf of AdaptWest, Resilient East, Resilient South and Resilient Hills and Coasts.

Are you tired of rising fuel costs? Ready to make the shift to electric vehicles (EVs), but not sure where to begin? This event is your gateway to the exciting world of electric mobility!

As part of ongoing work to support communities rebuilding after bushfire, Renew is showcasing homes that exemplify resilient design elements and building practices that extend the understanding of best practice beyond the complicated and variable (BAL) Bushfire Attack Level rating system.

Running monthly throughout the year, Green Adelaide’s has a range of courses and events to help you learn new nature skills, meet like-minded people and have a lot of fun!

Join Professor John Boland and learn how to integrate your home and garden to create an energy efficient house. This talk will look at easy to implement solutions so you can turn your own home (no matter its age) into a comfortable, energy efficient house under both present and future climate conditions. Go beyond the home energy rating scheme and learn how to make the most of nature to grow your own home cooling system, create air flow and save water.

Join Associate Professor James Hopeward to consider a solution to climate change that takes inspiration from around the world. Is the move from fossil fuels a simple matter of investing in more renewables or is a deeper change needed that means altering our way of life? In this talk Professor Hopeward will explore the supply and demand of our natural resources and the concept of limits to growth. He will share realistic, evidence-based solutions to these challenging and complex problems.
