Climate Revival Launceston – what we do. Climate Revival Launceston was formed in 2014 but has already been involved in a campaign to stop a reduction in the Renewable Energy Target (RET). The RET is important because it encourages installation of renewable energy generation (such as hydro, wild and solar) both on a small (house rooftop) and industrial scale.
To do this we organized a lunch where we listened to speakers and wrote letters to a key Tasmanian Senator, visited Haywards Engineering near the airport (they make wind turbine towers) and attracted some media on the subject, pulled off a ‘Bin the report not the RET’ stunt in the mall, also attracting media attention, joined the People’s Climate March in Deloraine, phoned and wrote to politicians asking them to support keeping the RET, wrote messages in chalk outside politician’s offices, and now we are running Band Nights to raise funds to put PV panels on the roof of a Launceston area community business to promote installation of renewable energy.
