The esteemed speakers included Ian Lowe, Clive Hamilton, and Tim Flannery and the outcome was her determination to get active. Between volunteering at climate solutions think tank Beyond Zero Emissions and writing pieces for such publications as Crikey about the renewable energy potential Australia has to dismantle its carbon economy – Alice is committed to fighting for a sustainable environment for her own and future generations.

Search The Punch keywords http://www.thepunch.com.au/search/ http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/putting-a-price-on-carbon-is-just-the-beginning/ Gillard’s recent decision to cut funding to renewable energy projects clashes with a growing consensus that carbon pricing alone will not move Australia towards a renewable energy future. Senior finance columnist Ross Gittins is the most recent to take aim at the shambles that is Gillard’s climate strategy, writing that “imposing a price on carbon emissions won’t solve the problems most of the affected climate programs were intended to tackle.” While it is revealing enough that a respected commentator with over 30 years’ experience disagrees with Gillard’s blinkered focus on carbon pricing, even more telling is the fact that his voice is just one of a choir. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Alice Body) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/putting-a-price-on-carbon-is-just-the-beginning/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/putting-a-price-on-carbon-is-just-the-beginning/#item5178 Mon, 21 Feb 2011 19:45:53 +0000 Alice Body | Author bios | The Punch
