First meeting for 2009

Monday night was the first North Brisbane CRAG meeting for 2009. It was fantastic to have 9 people there! Everyone had great ideas, and it was exciting to take the first concrete steps twards setting up the framework for reducing our emissions.

In a nutshell, we agreed that members will aim to reduce the carbon emissions by 20% from 2008 levels. Members who don't achieve their target will have the choice of donating time to an environmental charity or making a financial payment (which will go towards emissions reduction measures for an as yet undecided recipient). We will decide the level of the donation/payment next month.

We also had great discussions about the new ClimateSmart program, offsetting, useful books and solar hot water rebates.

The next meeting will be on a date to be advised in March - hopefully see you all then!
