Green Travel Action
Council provides incentives for staff that green travel for at least 20% of their commute. Those staff who have fleet vehicles can take a Green Travel Day and leave their car at home once a week and green travel to work. To make it easier to green travel, an online rideshare database is available to find rideshare matches. Interest free loans of up to $1000 are offered to staff to purchase a bike or MetCard. Work related journeys are also supported by Council, MetCards and electric bikes have been purchased for this purpose.
Check out the community website at http://www.goingplaces.darebin.vic.gov.au/.
For more information on our internal staff Green Travel Program email Che Sutherland our Sustainable Transport Officer on [email protected]

Re: Promoting Consumer Commitment to Local Food

Have a look at the site above- Ceres Fair Food. It is a NGO service that delivers local seasonal organic food to communities straight from the farmers. It is a great service. I use it and it works really well to break down the barriers for people.

Solar & Energy Efficient Water Heating Bulk Buy Program
2010-06-09 00:44:19 UTC
Hi,
We are currently running a Solar and Energy Efficient Water heating system roll-out to our community. We have been running the program for a few months now and it has been very successful with over 700 of our residents interested. We have promoted to everyone via a flyer drop to the whole community and our newsletters and website. Does anyone have examples of any other similar successful bulk buy programs and the methods of promotions and committments used?
