Electrifying Bradfield is about doing what we can to support adoption of renewable energy within the Upper North Shore. We have a vision of a cleaner, cheaper energy future made possible by the electrification of our houses and transport. This vision is heavily influenced by Saul Griffiths and 'Rewiring Australia'.

'Confronting Aussie Myths about Climate Change!
Confronting Four Aussie Myths About Action Against Climate Change!
In reading and listening to much corporate and social media commentary and in conversations I have with people there seem to be four very common Aussie myths about climate change and energy and actions we need to take!
All of these myths need to be challenged!
MYTH 1: ‘Coal exports are essential to our future economy’ – WRONG!
'Weather and Climate: What's the difference?'
This is a question I am asked often when people talk to me about ‘climate change’
Simple answer –
WEATHER – is the day-to-day conditions of things like:
*sun [sunny, cloudy, partly cloudy, overcast] and temperature, [hot,warm,cold]
*precipitation [drizzle, showers, rain, dew, frost, rain, storms, hail, snow]
*wind - strength[gentle, light, strong, gale, tornado] & direction

RECYCLING THE THINGS YOUR COUNCIL BINS WON'T TAKE - SOME OTHER POSSIBILITIES!
If you are looking for places to recycle some more things that you can't- shouldn't be-putting into local council bins - here are a few suggestions:
Officeworks Stores generally accept:
* mobile phones; DVDs; CDs; USBs; ink and toner cartridges; computers and accessories
Aldi stores - have receptacles for batteries [and hearing aid suppliers often accept hearing aid batteries for recycling]
New technology sodium-ion Household and Commercial Storage Batteries

* The batteries are made from recyclable plastic - so all components are recyclable - over and over again!
