Eltham’s Karinya Solar Is Contributing To A Sustainable Future
Stuart Pougher, of Karinya Solar, read about the Green Map in the local paper and got in touch. Stuart’s letter explains the project beautifully. He says:
“I’m interested in being part of the Green Map community. Such a simple idea but none the less a productive idea.The time has come for people to realise governments won’t create a better world, change has to happen at a community level.
I’m an Eltham based electrician who installs solar power systems. My aim is to offer energy auditing and retrofitting of light globes/shower heads and supply and installation of such products as green insulation, weatherstrips, light sensors, passive solar heating and cooling systems.
Installing solar panels won’t save the earth but hopefully through my work I can help educate people about living a more sustainable and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
$100 from each solar power system I install is donated to environmental or humanitarian projects. Hopefully by each taking a few small steps together we can have a huge positive impact on this beautiful planet we call home.
Karinya is an Aboriginal word meaning ‘peaceful home’. While we can’t guarantee we’ll make your home more peaceful Karinya Solar will endeavour to help you reduce your impact on the planet and live a more sustainable lifestyle.”
