Our December Sustainable Saturday's on 7 December will be gifts of kindness to one another and our living earth as we team up with our local Amnesty Write for Rights event and write letters to protect our local natural habitats and defend those throughout the world who are doing the same.
Where we think globally as the earth knows no boundaries when it comes to our natural habitat and we act locally to protect our natural wonders to keep our air and water clean and our living communities safe from harm. We also take action buying and sharing native plants encouraging through our CEN nursery to give gifts that keep giving.
Join us won't you.
Everyone is welcome at your local Community Environment Network, Central Coast

School students from cities and towns across Australia will be joining together to strike for the Climate on Septemeber 20.
Most of us have never met in person before but are united by our concern about our planet.
We are striking from school to tell our politicians to take our futures seriously and treat climate change for what it is - a crisis.
Politicians can show us that they care by takingurgent action to meet our demands:
The second of the monthly Climate Crisis Forums, 2. Energy Alternatives will cover the alternatives to fossil fuels, how the home owner can help while saving money and the pathway to a renewable electricity network and electric vehicle fleet. Jo Muller will present on the benefits of rooftop solar and control of household demand by such as through installation of LED lighting. Replacement of our electricity generation system will also be discussed.
The first of a series of climate related forums, the Heat, Pollution and Health Forum will focus on the impacts of global warming on our health. A combination of increased heat, intense heat waves and air pollution from coal burning power stations is resulting in increased disease and death. Dr Kim Loo will present on the increasing risks we face and the impacts she sees on her patients with further support from her fellow doctors.
The Climate Election is upon us. Now is the time when we must act to reduce emissions. Further delay leads to catastrophic consequences. Learn what needs to be done and how current global and Australian policy stacks up.
Can we cut our emissions fast enough? Is this an emergency? – come and hear the latest about the task ahead. There will be time for questions and discussion.
Guest Speaker: Dr Mark Diesendorf will detail how we will convert to renewable electricity without costs to our economy and reduced electricity bills.
