Electrify Your Home: A Practical Guide for Darebin Households

The Electrify Your Home section of our website is a guide to help Darebin residents transition away from gas and towards an efficient all-electric home. Each page introduces free, expert support from Graham Moore, a retired Associate Professor of Environmental Engineering at the University of Melbourne. Graham is a volunteer advisor with Darebin Climate Action Now (DCAN) and offers one-on-one support to renters and homeowners. Whether you are unsure where to start, need help understanding energy bills, or want guidance on appliance choices and solar installations, Graham is here to help.

Would you like a sign for your fence or window? 

In the lead up to the next federal election, we need to show politicians how much we want strong action on climate by installing signs with clear messages on our fences, in our gardens, street-facing windows and shop fronts. By acting together in the weeks ahead, we can make sure climate action is firmly on their agenda. We have two great signs available "For the Kids I'm Voting Climate" and "No more coal and gas." Order your free sign (or both) from Katherine.

Booklets: Talking with Children about Climate Change

Children are worried about their future - they see and hear worrying stories about climate
change. How can we best respond to their fears? Should we try to shield them from reality
or support them to take positive actions? We have two important guides to help you navigate the journey from the Australian Psychological Society (APS).

A guide for parents about the climate crisis and Raising Children to thrive in a climate changed world.

 

Booklet: Don't mention the emergency?

It’s time to talk honestly about the climate emergency and what we need to do to save human civilisation and the precious eco-systems on which we depend. Find out why it is so important to communicate the urgent need for action and some tips on how to do this by downloading a free copy of our booklet Don’t mention the emergency? written by Jane Morton.  Please feel free to give a copy to others in your local networks. Contact us here if you would Jane to lead a group discussion on climate emergency messaging, or if you would like hard copies of the booklet for an event.

Poster: What is Climate Change?

There is so much talk about climate change but what is it and how does it come about?  DCAN has developed a special poster to help explain climate change.  If you would like a hard copy of the poster drop us an email or print your own A4 version or slightly bigger A3 version.
