March 16, 2009 by Darren

I love discovering new local green businesses. Today for some reason I checked out the public noticeboard in the Kiama View shopping center, and noticed a business card for [Eco Manifesto](http://ecomanifesto.com.au). It didn’t have much information on it, but the name intrigued me so I looked them up when I got home to see what … [Read more…]

Solar Hot Water Information Night – Gerringong

November 19, 2008 by Darren

I’m really looking forward to the solar hot water information night on Friday. I’m hoping to find out whether it is possible to retrofit some kind of solar heating (or at least boosting) to my off-peak electric hot water system.
