Hello,

Thank you for your comments and for visiting my website. The world has seen differences in climate and scientific reports continually reiterate the need for action in mitigating climate change.

This makes it critical that all levels of government work in cooperation to reduce greenhouse emissions and encourage sustainability.

Thanks,

Alex

recently, there has been some massive flooding in the Philippines and Vietnam which i think is also due to Climate Change. the tropical storms in asia are somewhat getting stronger stronger each year.

Hi Lisa, thank you for your comments and for wishing me well in the upcoming council elections.

It is critical that Maroondah is seen as an environmental leader so that we reduce our water, energy and transport usage. Councils need to lead by example and I will be seeking to build upon council’s current water and energy commitments to improve our urban sustainability.

Thanks,

Alex

Rebecca,

Thank you for your comments. Details on the Maroondah Climate Change Action Group are available from their website http://www.macca.org.au. It would also be worth discussing the workshop with the Croydon Conservation Society as they hold regular community events focused on environmental sustainability.

Details on the Croydon Conservation Society are available from http://www.croydonconservation.org.au. I am currently their Treasurer so I am happy to discuss your ideas at their next meeting.

It would also be worth speaking to Council’s Sustainability Department as Council is currently planning its environmental education program. Council has re-committed itself to the a 20% reduction on greenhouse emissions by 2010 (based on 1995 levels). This target will be the first step towards further sustainability goals.

Please contact me on 0408 311 645 or email alex.makin@maroondah.vic.gov.au if I can be of further assistance.

Thanks,

Alex

I’m wondering how I can get in touch with someone from the Maroondah Climate Action Group. I’d like to offer to run a solar workshop, answering questions about solar power generation and providing access to quality systems installed for under $2000 (rebate amount financed by us). I’m a resident of Maroondah, and believe there is a huge calling for this type of information and access to the products. Please check out our website, and call me if it’s you who deals with such things. Rebecca
Thank-you
