Community Online Forums
Online forums like this are a great way to keep people connected. We have created this SPACE for anyone in the Castlemaine community (and beyond) to:
- post questions about energy saving at home … get helpful hints from the project team and others in your community
- contribute your own expereinces and advice on household energy saving
- provide feedback and ideas to the Castlemaine 500 Project Team
When you get to the Forum Index Page, the first thing you need to do is Register. There are a few steps to this process so hang in there!
Each time we leave a TV on standby, have a hot shower and switch on the heater, we use energy. The more we use, the more greenhouse pollution we create and the more we change the world’s climate.
