Come hear about community energy projects in Australia and overseas.

What Guildford Energy is about, and our initial thoughts – could Guildford and surrounds go solar?

Find out how you can be involved….investor, business, organiser?

Join us on Tuesday the 25th of March, 7 – 8:30 pm at The Stirling Arms Hotel function room (117 James street, Guildford).

Clean Up Australia Day 2014

Posted on March 6, 2014 by | Leave a comment

Thanks to everyone who took part in our Clean Up Australia day in March 2014.

It was a new record for people and rubbish – 66 people took part and we collected over 24 bags of recycling and 32 bags of rubbish!

Not to mention 1 fax machine, 2 shopping trolleys, 1 car battery, 4 tyres, 2 gas bottles, containers of engine oil, and mounds of fencing wire from the Helena River.

A special thanks to Lindsay Baxter and the Guildford Association for co-hosting again. And thanks to Ian and Caroline for leading the South Guildford team along West Parade, which yielded the majority of new bulky items.

As always, thanks to the Guildford Primary school community and students for taking part and the Guildford Bakery for making delicious post clean up scones 🙂

Transition Mount Hawthorn is born!

Posted on February 4, 2014 by | Leave a comment

Fantastic news! On the weekend, the latest Perth metro transition group was born with eight people meeting to establish Transition Town Mount Hawthorn*.

The intrepid Mount Hawthorne initiating group post meeting.

Potential action groups are: waste, chooks, skill and tool share, verge gardens and stormwater capture. Plus plans are under-way to  replicate TTG’s ‘Sunny Side Up’ Chook project with an additional community network component, and a chook walk some time in late March.

Please share the good news with your friends in Mt Hawthorn and invite them to take part! 

The initiating group will be meeting again in a fortnight.

Contacts are Irma and Kim via MtHinTransition@gmail.com

If you’re not near Mt Hawthorn, check our list of Transition groups in WA, or search the Transition Network website. If there’s none near you, register yourself and think about starting your own! We’re here to help.
