Environment Events in Richmond

The War in Iran and the Fuel Crisis has brought home how dependent Australia is on oil from overseas. Even after this crisis is over we now know how little it takes to create a shortage of oil. But as the old proverb says "never waste a crisis". So this is an opportunity to rethink Australia's Energy Security, build community resilience and work to reduce Climate Change at the same time. Voices of Macquarie is working with Community Independent MP, Zali Steggall to present a forum on May 1st to bring forward the best ideas to build Energy Security and Community Resilience in Western Sydney. Zali Steggall has developed a plan for building Community Resilience in the face of Climate Change. We know this is already adversely affecting the whole of Western Sydney but particularly the Macquarie electorate. The extreme heat and 2019 bushfires are a foretaste of more to come.
