A strong theme of grassroots community action runs through this issue of Renew, kicking off with our feature interview with the Bunyip Renewables Action Group, who are on a mission to significantly reduce their town’s carbon footprint and transition its energy use to 100% renewables by 2030. We then head to some of Australia’s remote communities to learn about the projects underway to address energy insecurity, including microgrids, solar farm developments and low-energy buildings inspired by traditional structures.    

Also in this issue: our solar hot water system buyers guide; a simple retrofit to eliminate the shower fan; we unpack some of the hard truths associated with disposing hard rubbish; and energy policy specialist Dean Lombard gives a masterclass on buying sustainable energy from the grid. Plus, Rob Mcleod shares Renew’s latest research on the importance of utilising forward-looking climate data for home energy ratings.
