Local groups running the national have now reached nearly 2000 people, as the survey gathers steam out in the community.

Over 20 groups have now shared interim reuslts with the national campaign and the results are surprisingly clear. Whether in the burbs of Brisbane,  the cool climes of Orange, or the Clarence coast community members think we need to be doing more on renewable energy.

85% of respondents think we need to be developing a plan to move to 100% renewable energy. And 90% think creating clean energy jobs should be a priority for our next government.

Local groups have also taken the opportunity of surveying thier community to ask locally relevant questions. Climate Action Bunbury has discovered that 83% of local people "support a transition for Collie from a coal-based industry to one based on manufacturing of renewable energy components with some renewable energy power plants?"

And Sustainable Hepburn Association found overwhelming support in thier community for Hepburn  to become carbon neutral by 2020.

So now we're starting to hear what our community wants, what to do with it?

Groups are now starting taking to take the results to thier local MP, to ask what they are doing to support renewable energy, and whether they are going to get behind a feed-in tariff to help make it all happen. As MPs around the country start hearing this call from all quarters - we'll be well on the way to getting this important policy win, and moving closer to our 100% vision!
