Increasing summer temperatures and wild weather events demonstrate that climate change is impacting us all. United Nations research shows us that globally, individuals and communities could change their energy-intensive lifestyles and help cut emissions up to 70% by 2050.
On a local level, Northern Beaches Council has a plan to help everyone reduce their emissions by changing our energy-intensive lifestyles; a challenge we can all tackle together.
Tackling climate action at home can also help reduce household costs. But finding out what’s possible, how to start, and who to trust can be a challenge.
In a first-of-its-kind on the Northern Beaches, you’re invited to an event for everything related to the circular economy and sustainability, making it easier than ever to facilitate the lifestyle adaptations which will achieve reduced carbon footprints.
On Sunday 2 June 2024, the Net Zero Expo will take over Narrabeen Tramshed Arts and Community Centre and Berry Reserve between 10am and 4pm.
Hosted by Northern Beaches Council with some 40 vendors across the industry, the one-stop-shop event will include an array of solution ‘hubs’, showcasing home electrification, energy, reuse and recycling, sustainable living and electric transport.
With a mission to demystify the steps and solutions we all can take to move closer to Net Zero, the Expo will allow visitors to get inspiration, speak with experts, and road-test cost and energy-saving solutions for their homes, businesses, and lifestyles.
Watch cookery demonstrations using induction cooking, test drive electric vehicles, look at e-bikes and explore simple ways to heat, cool and electrify your home. There’s also a second-hand clothes market, worm farm and composting demonstrations, and other sustainable living ideas such as keeping backyard chickens.
Visitors can take away a free native plant and there will be lucky door-prizes.
Across the day, there’s also a packed schedule of ticketed workshops and presentations, MC-ed by Craig Reucassel from the ABC’s War on Waste. Visitors can hear from inspiring Net Zero pioneers, community organisations and government bodies on practical and achievable ways to adapt the way we live, work and move to be more planet friendly. Plus, motivational presentations about ways to lower our environmental impact and use carbon-conscious transport.
By adopting simple ways to live for less, make our homes more energy efficient and reduce power bills, we can all move the dial on climate change bit by bit.
Visitors attending the Net Zero Expo will be inspired to collectively be a part of reducing emissions and protecting the unique Northern Beaches environment and lifestyle we all enjoy.
This may be the first Net Zero event locally, but Council doesn’t intend it to be the last, with a packed calendar of other sustainability and circular economy events over the next eighteen months.
Entry to the family-friendly Net Zero Expo is free, but with spaces limited, be sure to book your ticket and workshop access as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
