Other News: You might remember that our November event focused on Pingala and how community energy is central to our transition to an equitable, 100% renewable energy system. As a committee we are proudly donating $250 towards the Cheap renewable power for Indigenous communities crowd-funding campaign, so why not take a look and see if you can further support this worthy project.
