Shout out to all the school communities putting on the democracy sausages tomorrow! Newtown, Newtown North, Camdenville, Darlington, Stanmore and Erskineville all showing up on the fabulous @DemSausage map! And remember Build a Ballot if you're still not sure who to vote for!

We also did our own survey for Sydney candidates but unfortunately only got one reply. If you're still interested, check it out here! https://t.co/h0eZugPsLG

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

Good luck to all candidates, staff, volunteers and anyone else involved in the election over the next few days!

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

We asked all candidates for the federal seat of Sydney four questions about their climate policies. We've only received one response so far, but we'll keep the page updated if we get more. https://t.co/nLPZ0NanFj

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

Don't forget you can also use tools like Build a Ballot to see where the parties stand on climate change and find the candidate who is most aligned with your views. https://t.co/2adQpRZl5Y

Looking for something to do this weekend? Interested in cutting edge tech that's good for the climate and might also save you a pretty penny? Check out Everything Electric at Homebush from Friday to Sunday.

[Everything Electric @Everyth1ngElec]

*With a home battery it's possible to bank energy at its cheapest and use it when it is at its most expensive, or draw energy direct from the sun with solar 🌞🏠🔋

Home battery discounts start tomorrow! Good news for solar households who want to keep using renewable energy into the night.

Interesting story on @abcsydney @RadioNational about the electrification pilot Electrify 2515, being run by @RewiringAus. Climate change is an urgent problem and we should be electrifying and upgrading houses all over Australia as quickly as we can.

Check out this creative local action from @FriendsOfErko, tonight from 6.30pm on the Erko bridge. We need to make it easy for people to choose zero-emissions transport for local trips, including making it safe to walk and ride around our streets at any time of day or night.

[Friends Of Erskineville @FriendsOfErko]

Join us this Thursday from 6:30pm to bring light to the darkness that is the Erskineville Road rail bridge. Bring a torch or lantern. We'll be escorting passersby with lanterns and encouraging people to sign the petition:

JOIN A SNAP ACTION TODAY IN SYD, MEL, BRIS 💥💥Yesterday,
@tanya_plibersek
approved 3 thermal coal mine expansions that will turbocharge the climate crisis by locking in 1.5 billion tonnes of carbon pollution 😵‍💫 https://t.co/FPOrxPMP4r

BRING: Your mates and your placards!

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

Communities like ours are doing all we can to reduce climate pollution in a way that is fast, fair and fun. So it's a kick in the guts when our elected politicians - in this case our local member @tanya_plibersek - make decisions that will make climate change worse.

[Lock the Gate @LockTheGate]

BREAKING - horrible news! The Albanese Government has just approved THREE massive new coal mine expansions - Mt Pleasant, Narrabri Underground, and Ashton. These projects will be responsible for more than 1.4 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions combined.

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

We love the work local non-profit Inner West Community Energy does to get more solar on more local roofs. If you're interested in putting solar on your roof check out their next information night in Marrickville, 6.30 - 8pm on Wednesday 16 October.

[Newtown Climate @newtown_climate]

Solar is saving households $3bn every year - that's as much as the government is spending on its energy bill rebates. Check out this @SBSNews story featuring Mamoon Reza, one of only ~8% of Newtown residents lucky enough to have solar panels on their roof!

Esperance in WA has switched to electricity and switched off its gas supply, with support from government. Every house is now paying less for energy, using newer appliances and breathing cleaner air. When will our residents and renters get to experience the same improvements?

[Rewiring Australia @RewiringAus]

Electricity is providing more energy for Esperance than ever before, and more of that electricity is being generated from renewable sources than ever before. https://t.co/N4ZiYeYEYD
