Do you want to make history in the future - NOW?
Introducing the Ballarat Sustainability 2030 Time Capsule, brought to you by BREAZE!
We're inviting every member of the Ballarat community to share their wishes and dreams for a greener future. Whether you're a quiet thinker, a bold innovator, an imaginative school child, a reflective writer, a lively community activist, or just someone with a passion for sustainability—your voice matters.
The wishes of a zero carbon Ballarat, from the gentle dreamers to the spirited trailblazers, preserving today's hopes for tomorrow.
We're collecting messages to be sealed and buried on 5 June 2025, to be reopened on 5 June 2030.
Keep an eye out as the capsule makes appearances at upcoming Green Drinks and other Smart Living activities. If you'd like the time capsule to feature at an event you're hosting, please get in touch at admin@breaze.org.au.
Let’s come together to create a lasting legacy for a sustainable Ballarat!
Local climate action.
BREAZE educates and supports the wider Ballarat community to work towards a goal of zero emissions by 2030.
We undertake advocacy, community education, and project management, to reduce our carbon footprint as well as supporting the installation and provision of renewable energy sources.

Make a donation
Every $1 donation to our Social Solar program funds 1 watt of renewable energy and more renewable energy means fewer emissions! How good is that? But One Dollar for One Watt equals even more.
Each time a combined total of $1,500 is donated BREAZE, we will install 1.5kW of solar panels on the roof of a social housing property. Depending on the size of the house, 3kW of solar panels may be needed, so BREAZE will do this when a combined total of $3,000 has been donated. (For those of you who watch the price of solar panels, you will know that 1 watt of solar costs a bit more than $1, but the shortfall will be made up with other money.). Donations of $2.00 or more are tax deductible
