Hi Guys

Thanks for those who have already given. (this will be the last one, I promise!) With a few more days to go (till Midnight Wednesday Australian time) - we've got a few new rewards - we'd like to make it to $12 500 to get a start on the Outdoor Classroom!

Please help us get Queensland's first Carbon Neutral school!  There are some great rewards - if you're outside of Brisbane, I'm happy to discuss what we can give you near your home!

Plants in small pots in full sun and some wind often need watering at least once day. Miss the deadline and you won’t have dinner, you’ll have dead things. Solargreen’s Greens Machines overcomes this problem using a solar activated pump. The solar-powered pump circulates nutrient-boosted water through the grow trays whenever the plants need it most- when the sun shines. Excess water drains back into the reservoir, which needs to be topped up every 5-7 days. The gardener’s only other tasks is to keep an eye out for pests and to harvest often.   Community Energy News Energetic Communities to Speak at Island Vibe It's Island Vibe time of year again.  Luke Reade from Energetic Communities and Owen Noonan from UQ will be running a short community workshop on Community Owned Renewable Energy (CORE) and the future of electricity grids.  We'll be talking on what is Community Owned Renewable Energy, What is happening in Australia and how you can get involved!  So come to the Eco-Space and say gidday!     Island Vibe was winner of the Green Festival of the Year 2012!
