My name is Alice Bovill and we live just outside Jamberoo, just under the escarpment. It's a single story home, it's sort of a U shape, and it takes advantage of the view and it's a lovely backdrop with the rainforest. I think it's wonderful, and I think the fact that we're harnessing this natural product up here, the sunshine is very important. And it's... I think it's just wonderful that we can do something to help our planet as well. Of course it makes financial sense, it certainly does, yes. So the bills are proving it, and the fact that we can use the swimming pool for a lot longer than we have been able to.
I think an electric car is something when we replace our cars, would be something to consider. We do harvest our own water, we do have a little bit of gas, but now we've got our own water, we've got our own power. I think we're doing quite well, we do grow some vegetables as well. I think it is important to have solar, I think it is, because it makes a difference to the power bills. And as I said, it's harvesting our sunshine. We have lots of sunshine and I think we should be using as many things as we can to help our planet be a greener place, and a better place for future generations, because I think it's up to every individual.
If we can all contribute in our way, it's important and we will help the universe and make this a greener planet and leave it in a better position, and conditioned for our children.
How important are the environmental benefits of solar power and renewable energy?
