So you want to make some renewable changes – but not sure where and how to start? Doing it alone is not easy, and just reading the literature may not be enough. One organisation, the Alternative Technology Association (ATA), has a long reputation in Australia and New Zealand for promoting sustainable technology and practice. Groups meet in most of the capital cities and in New Zealand and share what worked, and what didn’t!. The wealth of experiences is also shared in the ATA flagship magazine, RENEW, with practical articles on solar, wind, micro-hydro, and sustainable transport for the home and small business user, focusing on real-life applications.
As a fairly non-technical unit dweller, I was somewhat unsure when I joined ATA last year. I soon found the welcome mat was out, and everyone’s knowledge and experience is valued. Now I’m on the committee of Central Sydney group, helping to organise speakers. To find out about the group in your area, see www.ata.org.au, or contact me at this blog for the Central Sydney group details.
