Robertson Village water and energy saving showcase
Sunday 12th September
 Robertson Community Technology Centre has cut its electricity usage in half, with help from the NSW Government’s Climate Change Fund, local businesses, and dedicated volunteers.
The Robertson Community Technology Centre invites you to attend the official launch of the Robertson Village Water and Energy Saving Showcase on Sunday 12th September 2010, at 2pm, at 58-60 Hoddle Street (opposite Murray Tractors - for enquiries, phone 02 4885 2665).
In April 2009 the Robertson CTC applied for funding under the Climate Change Fund – Public Facilities Program, managed by the Department of Environment, Climate Change and Water NSW, and was thrilled to receive $40,000 in funding, the maximum amount available under the program.
Come along to view the technologies installed thanks to this funding, meet with representatives from local companies, enjoy a tea or coffee, and share in good conversation.
For more information about the energy-saving changes introduced at the CTC, please see the news page.

Robertson Village Water and Energy Saving Showcase
The CTC@ Robertson was successful in obtaining a $40,000 grant from the NSW Climate Change Fund’s Public Facilities Program (Community Savers stream). David Cooper has been managing this project for us and we have now replaced all computer monitors with LCD monitors, lighting has been converted to fluorescent globes, and soon we will be installing the climate-friendly solar hot water system. There is more to come. The project is estimated to save 37,000 litres of water a year, 4.9 megawatt hours of electricity and more than five tonnes of carbon pollution a year.
Supported by the NSW Government’s Climate Change Fund.

Mobile phone recycling

Your CTC will receive $2.50 for every old mobile phone it collects. Simply bring in your unwanted mobile phone, no matter its age or condition and give it to one of our volunteers. This not only helps your CTC but the planet too, it is estimated that there are 16 million old mobile phones just lying around in office and home drawers in Australia alone. See the news page for more information.
