                           Clean energy is the solution for our planet's future.

         Clean renewable energy is the positive alternative
         to fossil fuels. It is viable, enduring, effective and
         safe. The clean energy industry is thriving in Australia
         and constantly growing. Many Australians have already
         powered their homes with clean energy. Do You?

                                                                                              Greenpeace


                At 3rd Planet Solutions - We want to increase Australia's renewable energy use, working with
          the community, industry, government and like minded people who care like we do about the .
          planet. Global Warming is real and it will not go away unless WE (that means you and me)
          do something about it! As Gough Whitlam once said - IT'S TIME!!


       The warnings from scientists are urgent - unless we find necessary
         environmental solutions now, we are unwittingly stepping in front of
         an ecological truck that could destroy us. We are robbing future
         generations of valuable resources, we are damaging the environment
         and by increasing the gap between rich and poor, we could be
         compromising future social stability.

          Q. Why is logging old-growth forests a problem if new trees grow back?

            A:   When you log an old-growth forest, huge amounts of carbon pollution are
          released. While young re-growth sucks in carbon, it takes 150 years for a
          forest to recapture all the carbon lost after logging. We must reduce carbon
          pollution as soon as possible to avoid dangerous climate change.

             power speak by transferring the jobs to renewable energy instead of fossil fuels.
