Solar our Schools has less than 1 days left before it presents an open letter to the government. It’s a parent-run campaign to use federal COVID recovery funds to get a substantial amount of Solar PV on the roof of every school and childcare centre in Australia - with batteries so the PV is fully utilised outside school hours, on weekends and in the holidays too.
Australian Parents For Climate Action is running this campaign. This model would save schools a lot of money on electricity, cut pollution, create jobs and create a giant virtual battery. At present their are only small and piecemeal State government projects concerning solar on some school roofs, that involve too much admin for school staff to even qualify. This proposal would be universal and makes the connection between climate, Covid recovery and a renewable economy - which really needs to be made.
Here’s the link to sign the open letter and please spread the word on social media https://www.facebook.com/ap4ca
