The Etho Foundation is in the midst of organising our next program called "Transforming Energy - Inverting power, transitioning to renewables, preparing for climate change" which will run between March 26 and 30 2007 at Binna Burra Lodge. There will also be a 1-day Forum/Think Tank for government and industry leaders from South East Qld and Northern NSW on Wednesday March 28 2007.
The program aims to gather leaders and emerging leaders from government, industry, science, education, communication and community and activism together to support high leverage networking and solidarity around the issues of renewable energy and sustainability.
Confirmed catalyst presenters for the program include Graeme Pearman (previously Chief of Atmospheric Research, CSIRO), Ian Lowe (President Australian Conservation Foundation, Griffith University), David Mills (Solar Heat and Power, previously University of Sydney), Peta Ashworth (CSIRO and Australia 21 - Community education for climate change), Kelly Thambimutu (CEO, Centre for Low Emissions Technology), and Philip Bangerter (Director Global Sustainability, Hatch).
We hope to again involve Diane Watson and Scott Gorringe as indigenous representatives, and our community choir leader extraordinaire, Rachel Hore will support community and relationship building through her community choir sessions.
We'll begin marketing Transforming Energy from mid-October but in the meantime, if you or your organisation would like more information either contact Sally at the Foundation on ph: (07) 5533 3646 or em:
