Literary Lunch - Screw Light Bulbs : Smarter Ways to Save Australians Time and Money Other events...
If you want a guide to our carbon future: THIS IS IT. Clear, sensible, authoritative – and really interesting. I have seen few books on an issue affecting all of us that are so readable and wise. Even fun! -- Robyn Williams

Australia was the first country in the world to officially ban old-fashioned incandescent light bulbs as a solution to climate change – but was it a good idea? In fact, does anything we do in Australia really make any difference?

Should we stop eating chocolate for the good of the planet?

Why should we think twice about our shopping choices?

And what’s the real story behind Australia’s light bulb ban?

Authors ‘ award-winning Age journalist Liz Minchin and leading climate and energy expert Dr Donna Green, Screw Light Bulbs will address these questions and more .

Screw Light Bulbs will be available to buy on the day.

Price: Members $55/Guests $65

Price includes a drink on arrival, two-course lunch and presentation by Liz Minchin and Dr Donna Green, authors of Screw Light Bulbs.
