What is People Power Canberra?

Are you sick of polarised debate about climate change and pricing pollution?

Ever wondered if there’s something you can do here, in your community, with your friends and neighbours, to make a real difference?

Imagine if we could easily change our buildings, offices and shops to drastically reduce the amount of energy we use, and increase the amount of renewable energy we generate.  All it takes is a little bit of up-front cash and the right ideas, and we can transform Canberra, reduce our emissions, and get on with moving to renewable energy now.  Join us at Cook shops, where the money you spend at participating shops will be invested in reducing emissions in store!

We’ve provided participating shops with an energy audit to see where they can save energy and reduce their emissions.  All they need now is a little cash injection to get started.  On Saturday, we’ll be bringing a mob of shoppers who want to make a difference to make it happen!

For more details, catch us on Facebook.
Enjoy on the day:
  • Music – The Quote Book, The Night Cafe and more
  • Activities – Sustainability fun for kids with SEE-Change, prize draws
  • Information – Stalls with local environment groups to tell you more about taking action in  Canberra
  • Sausage Sizzle!

Participating shops are Cook Friendly Grocer, Aqua Hair, Canberra Jewellery Repair and  Restoration & Gina’s Hair.
Can’t wait to see you there!
