SEE-Change and religious bodies

A small working group of interested SEE-Change members met this morning to consider ways in which SEE-Change could work effectively with religious communities in Canberra which have an interest in environmental issues. We have the capacity to enrol corporate members and a number of church groups are known to be considering such membership. One idea discussed by the working group was the possibility of developing a SEE-Change religious group committee of representatives of various religious bodies which might be interested in a bulk purchase of solar PV panels both to heat their buildings and to generate renewable energy for the city. The group agreed on an approach to a number of religious organizations which will be discussed at the next meeting of the SEE-Change Inc. Watch this space for further developments.
