CAD's 1st Anniversary and First Blog

April 2010

Just over a year ago, we at Climate Action Darwin submitted our first grant application to get this website up and running. Last week we submitted our second grant application to develop some ideas we have for community education. So it would seem a good time to take stock of where we are and where we’re headed.

When we first planned this website, we imagined a place where we could offer information and that would invite discussion. It would, we hoped, begin to build a community. It would inform, affirm and inspire. The discussion, we thought, would be vibrant and informed, with threads on renewable energy, on active democracy and new ways of living.
 
Until now, these discussions have been behind the scenes as the first few intrepid CAD members have written to us with their ideas, book titles, and letters they’ve sent to their pollies. Today we’d like to take this a step further by starting our blog. Down the line, we’d like a forum for members’ views too, but for now, please read ours and send us an email with yours.
