Like any good Expo, it’s all about learning, touching, and seeing with our own eyes how things work,
from the solar billy to wind energy with all the practical money saving, energy saving products,
services and grants that are now emerging!

With the increased urgency to take climate action now widely recognised, the development of products
and services has gained momentum. Technological advancements in products and ancillary services together
with new and attractive financial incentives made by Governments, is increasing the number of suppliers
and improving competition. It’s a good time to gather together such suppliers, in one place.

The purpose of the Expo is to help us all understand the issues and the choices ahead of us.
Entry’s free,, plus there’ll be a number of free valuable giveaways,
discounted energy efficient light globes and offers from exhibitors.

Many of the exhibitors will be ready to both demonstrate, provide information and some, to sell or take orders.

Membership

To all those who’ve shown interest in WarrandyteCAN, thank you. Effectively you’ve put your hand up to say
‘I want to do as much as I can to reduce carbon emissions locally and to influence the broader debate on climate change’.
Well done. WarrandyteCAN make a Difference.

As individuals it is, of course, possible to contribute to change without joining CAN. However, Membership means you
have access to information, resources and a cohesive group network within which You CAN make a Difference!
With your membership support, the CAN Committee provides you with an information network and an activities program
that we hope you fully embrace. Since our inception in April, together we have introduced the following:

•Regular monthly meetings of the Committee and members where we can learn and contribute.
•Regular 6-8 weekly information nights with expert speakers in the field of reducing emissions.
•Email communications when urgency or updates necessitate.
•Our own online information newsletter Insight (currently distributed via email).
•A ‘library’ base for access to printed materials.
(Warrandyte Neighbourhood House at the Warrandyte Community Centre).

Future Plans
•A twelve month calendar of events is in the planning stages – come along to meetings and contribute to this.
•A website to progressively house and disseminate our acquired specific WarrandyteCAN resource information is in the early phases,
hopefully utilising the donated skills and time of our caring community of individuals and business sponsors.
•We aim to contribute to the wider debate wherever possible and practical on behalf of our community and the planet,
whether it be related to transport, alternative energies or other issues and this will require member
contributions both in ideas and actions.

Please Spread the Word about Membership!
Our responsibility as members not only involves spreading the word about the consequences of global warming but also
encouraging our friends and neighbours in this community to join up in pursuit of change! How can you do this?

•Remind them that without a concerted effort now, the extreme weather patterns we are already seeing in Australia
(lower rainfall, extreme heat waves, stronger storms, frequent flooding etc) will be massively exacerbated in just one generation.
•Australia will have to face the issues of large-scale migration of needy environmental refugees facing increased
tropical diseases and starvation as the sea rises.
•If the mention of higher electricity, gas and water bills don’t make an impact, ask your neighbours and friends
to take the footprint test at www.acfonline.org.au
(search Eco-Calculator). The reality of the typical landowning Warrandyte meat eating/dairy loving, fashionable air-conditioned
traveller carries a heavy responsibility in terms of total greenhouse emissions!*
