ALEC Update
Thursday January 15, 2009
=====================================================================
Happy New Year and best wishes to all of you for 2009.
I hope you managed to get some time off or time away this summer but if not, may it come soon enough.
ALEC is going to be busy again this year with a number of projects/campaigns coming up including:
- working with council towards a community garden
- stopping the drilling at the Angela/Pamela uranium deposit
- organising workshops on community resilience and climate change adaptation
- working towards the implementation of the Water Efficiency Program for Alice Springs
- organising Clean Up days at Ilparpa Claypans
- support for those working on country in opposition to uranium exploration/mining and nuclear waste dumps in the Territory
- engaging the public on waste management issues including recycling, the tip shop (or more accurately, severe lack of) and use of recycled water.
- engaging with stakeholders and Government on Caring for our Country.
- re-activating the GreenBusiness network

That’s a good start anyway....

If anyone is interested in being involved in any of these activities or have any suggestions for projects they’d like to get going, please call me on 08 8952 2497 or email info@alec.org.au .

Also, I’ll be away from January 20 – February 1. The ALEC office will be closed during this time and ALEC Updates will resume on Wed Feb 4.

Looking forward to working with you in 2009

Peace and respect

Jimmy
