It was so gratifying to discover a Tasmanian company, with authentic leaders, tackling the electrification of Australia’s transport system. So glad that we can help @thegoodcarco take more strides to making this a reality ⚡️🚗🌏❤️ smartcompany.com.au/startups…

Today’s announcement about a government-funded gas-fired power plant in NSW confounds me when there are far more forward thinking, climate-friendly options. It’s exactly why we need to make more noise and you should make your voice heard by the PM at towhomitshouldconcern.com/

To Whom It Should Concern | Write A Letter to PM Morrison for Climate Change Action

Australia is the 3rd largest carbon emitter in the world. Join us in writing a letter to our Prime Minister demanding we take radical steps now to mitigate climate change.

Insightful read on the state of entrepreneurship. "We have to save these community businesses that are vital to our lives and our neighborhoods and are just the heartbeat of who we are". bloomberg.com/news/features/…

It’s Time to Reclaim the Meaning of the Word ‘Entrepreneur’

Silicon Valley hijacked the concept for the privileged few. A more inclusive definition would benefit everyone.

Just a reminder. A few short yrs ago, Aust had world-leading climate laws thanks to #Greens, Labor & independents. Libs tore it down, repealing the carbon price, but photographer @ellinghausen caught them in the act. This will be Exhibit A in the upcoming climate trials. 🔥
