BREAZE

Celebrate Earth Hour - 27th March 7pm-12am

Choose from 9 World Class Acts, performing in 4 beautiful venues (all lit with solar power or candles!). Walk from one venue to another to hear whichever group takes your fancy.

No mics or amplification - Actually acoustic!

The Ballarat Acoustic Music Festival is an all-ages, alcohol free event.

Kevin Rudd and his merry band of cabinet colleagues came swinging into Ballarat on Thursday, February 18 to talk to us face to face and hear some of our questions.

As part of the festivities, BREAZE Executive Officer, Lisa Kendal and Community Campaigner, Andrew Bray, had a half-hour meeting with Climate Change Minister, Senator Penny Wong and Secretary of the Department of Climate Change, Martin Parkinson. Read more to see the Photo!

Fundraiser for Community Engagement events

BREAZE has been donated copies of the Gould League Bird Books by co-author, Alan Reid. There are seven books per set, covering Victoria, Tasmania, ACT, southern NSW and eastern SA. Great for beginners to bird watching (and for children!), the series features beautiful illustrations by Sue McGuiness.

Moreland Energy Foundation Limited have pulled together some comparitive data from Victoria's electricity retailers. The donwnloadable pdf provides rates and relevant information that will enable you to make an informed decision when selecting a retailer. Keep in mind that most BREAZE members have assigned their RECs to BREAZE, so that column in the pdf will not apply to most.

Instead of organising our own Walk Against Warming this year, an intrepid bunch of BREAZErs jumped on the train and headed down to the Melbourne event. When we got there we found we were part of a crowd of 40,000. What a blast!
