Another great market stall at Cotters Market with amazing volunteers! Once again, renewables came out on top in our voting, showing community support for the energy transition. We had plenty of keen learners and some robust conversations about what this shift means for our environment, economy, and livelihoods.
Some people were hesitant to chat, this could be because they’re still making up their minds about our energy future. It’s a big transition with far-reaching impacts, and we’re here to help people navigate the facts. Many visitors shared their success stories with rooftop solar and the personal benefits they’ve seen. At the same time, concerns were raised about the rollout of renewables and how we can make the transition work for everyone. For example, one stall visitor has many family members working in the coal industry, reinforcing the importance of a just transition for this workforce.
We also had a bit of fun with face painting at the stall - always a hit! 
Want to join the conversation? We’ll be at the Strand Night Markets on Friday, 7 March. Come along, ask questions, and share your thoughts on the future of energy!
