Winter Is Here. Before You Turn Up The Heater, Read This. Most Australian homes leak heat through ceilings, windows, doors and gaps. A few simple improvements can make your home warmer, more comfortable and cheaper to run this winter. #DarebinCAN #CostOfLiving #Insulation #ClimateEmergency
Calling all nature and craft lovers! Darebin Council has organised the following fun event for the school holidays for young people aged 12-25. #DarebinCAN #climate #craft
DCAN’s Dispatch June edition is available now. This month we highlight the Make Polluters Pay campaign and the ongoing protests about the State Government's approval of gas mines. We also call for a moratorium on data centres and discuss the need for accurate climate education for young people.
🚨 The European Parliament just passed the EU-US trade deal, marking a capitulation to US pressure and US energy dominance agenda. By deepening its ties with the US, the EU risks locking itself into a new fossil gas dependency, at the moment it needs a clear gas exit strategy. Read our reaction 👇
Mocking a climate advocate doesn't change the laws of physics. Questioning somebody's sexuality or masculinity doesn't stop a heatwave, drought or flood. #climatecrisis #science #physics #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/yeah-bu...

Polluters should pay their fair share. Our Polluters Pay petition has already reached 160 signatures! Now we need more community voices to help show Darebin Council that residents support holding major polluters accountable for the costs of climate change. #PollutersPay #ClimateJustice #Darebin

DCAN’s Dispatch May edition is available now. This month we focus on the positive and negative climate impacts of the Federal budget, the lack of funding provided by Darebin Council for its Home Energy Upgrade Program and encourage support for the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, plus more.
What does the 2026/27 Federal Budget say about the Albanese government’s priorities for climate and environment? While there are some welcome steps forward on clean energy & transport, this budget still leaves Australians exposed to fossil fuel price shocks & climate harm. #climateactionnow #gastax
