Climate Action Pledge



The CPPA has been awarded a $16,198 Community Building Partnership grant to
implement Sustainable Solutions for Progress Hall Stage2-Excellence in Energy Efficiency. 

This exciting project will capitalise on the energy being generated by our solar panels, which have generated 5.41 MWh of power this year. The energy efficiency will also benefit our regular hall users and support our efforts to have social activities at the hall in the new year and most importantly it will help us to do our bit to address the causes of climate change.

Doing something to tackle climate change is a big issue and we will only succeed if everyone together does their bit. Every climate action that we take, no matter how insignificant it may seem, matters a lot when a lot of people do them.

Sir David Attenborough’s recent plea to leaders at the UN was clear.

“If we don’t take action the collapse of our civilisations and the extinction of much of the natural world is on the horizon.”

The Australian Climate Council offer these tips from their ‘What can I do toolkit’ 
  • Call your MP to share your support for strong policies that support renewable energy solutions 
  • Install rooftop solar and take back control of your power bills. 
  • Change the way you travel and think about opportunities to catch public transport, cycle or walk instead. 
  • Move your money so it doesn’t support the fossil fuel industry. 
The Climate Council also provides BBQ guides for talking about the various climate change issues recognising that it can be a difficult conversation.
