“The fossil fuel industry has become the public enemy number one. They are not paying for the destruction that they are causing. And that is one of the biggest subsidies to the industry.”

~ Dr John Iser, Victorian chair, Doctors for the Environment

The Sustainable Hour on 9 May 2018 is about how doctors, medical students, activists and active members of our communities are bypassing the carbon paralysis which the fossil fuel industry has created in our governments.

As we enter a new era of wild weather, melting ice and rising sea levels, caused by unregulated carbon emissions, we talk with four sensible and inspirational climate champions who are in the process of mobilising action in our community, raising their voices against this senseless, irreversible destruction of our planet’s eco-systems.

~ Bill McKibben – in The Guardian Australia on 1 May 2018

“We can’t predict the future, but we can predetermine it through our actions.

~ Greg Offer, head of the Faraday Institution Multi-Scale Modelling Project led by Imperial College, London’s most respected science university

Get ready for the predeterminators. We have The Terminator on our side. We are the local residents in our community who help predetermine the future by bringing energy freedom to our city. We have joined a nation-wide community rebellion against Big Energy and politicians who ignore the climate threat, and we are determined to win. As the matter of fact, we know we will win.

While climate criminals in our federal government plan for new monster coal mines in Queensland and refuse to put any fees or fines on climate-destroying air pollution, we, the predeterminators, the decarbonisers, are engaging ourselves and our money in rolling out clean energy programs all over the planet. Programs such as the Geelong Community Solar Program.
