What's it all about? 100 Phillip Island households are needed to take part in a Victorian-first 12-month renewable energy sharing trial. We're calling on renters, owners or holiday houses, as well as people with or without solar panels, to volunteer. We particularly need more households who do NOT have solar to take part - is this you or a friend or neighbour? Help us spread the word by sharing this newsletter!
The Circular Economy -
what is it and how does it relate
to regenerative land management?
Watch a recording of the June 'Demonstrating Sustainable Farm Practices' workshop online to brush up on circular economy and regenerative agriculture principles and actions.
Gippsland Renewable Energy Zone
Did you know Gippsland will become a renewable energy powerhouse?
Totally Renewable Phillip Island presented at the Gippsland New Energy Conference in Sale a few weeks back on 'Engaging conversations: Ensuring communities are part of the new energy journey'. We highlighted the Island's Neighbourhood Battery Initiative projects, and how our community is working together to be carbon neutral (and 100% renewable) by 2030. We heard about large-scale offshore wind and solar farms, hydrogen networks, geothermal projects and more. The limit is our imagination, so let's all keep dreaming (and planning) for a positive future! | |
Our passionate locals
JENI JOBE | We are delighted to introduce a key member of Totally Renewable Phillip Island's core group - JENI JOBE. Jeni is the brains behind the imagery you know as TRPI (think penguins wearing T-shirts driving Electric Vehicles) as well as the head of our Education and Communications working group. Jeni is a tireless contributor to TRPI's vision and we wouldn't be here today without her! Thanks Jeni for all that you bring to Totally Renewable Phillip Island and the broader community! |
TRPI is a remarkable initiative. Born from community wanting to make a difference and reduce their dependency on fossil fuels. So much has been achieved in a small time, the public meeting that started it all was only in 2018.
I never hesitate to put my time into this group. It is worth every minute invested and is meeting it's brief of decarbonising Phillip Island as well as the region.
I have made some life long friends from being part of this, it is a fantastic way to make a difference and connect with your community.
