Welcome to the Southern Hemisphere’s season of Spring dear readers! Here in south east Queensland the first days of Spring were brilliantly sunny and warm but as I write, the weather has shifted gears into blustery southerlies and rain. The change-of-season-roller-coaster has begun…
Welcome to our new readers, particularly those of you who attended the Ethos Foundation’s Climate Change Leadership Roundtable at Queensland’s Parliament House on August 29. That event attracted about 200 people to the traditional seat of power in Queensland and was filled with vigorous dialogue and a sense of energy and even optimism. Ken McLeod, the Ethos Foundation’s program developer and organiser of the roundtable, has written an article in this eNews about some of the insights and learnings developed during that event.
Here at the Foundation, we felt it was appropriate to send all roundtable attendees and partners a copy of this eNews so you can gain a bigger picture of the Ethos Foundation and our activities. If you would prefer not to receive future editions of our eNews simply click on Unsubscribe at the end of this newsletter.

Darting, swooping, snapping at insects. Even Beechmont State School just down the road wrote an article about the amazing variety of birds making the school their home in the past year:
