B.D FARM PARIS CREEK
Based in the
beautiful Adelaide Hills of South Australia, B.-d. Farm Paris Creek is one of
the nation’s finest producers of dairy products. Our range of milk, yogurt,
quark, butter and handcrafted cheeses are made from the highest quality,
premium, biodynamic milk.
At every
stage of production, we avoid the use of homogenisation, artificial ingredients
such as colours and flavours, or anything that would interfere with the quality
promise of our products and we aim to provide the best possible health benefits
for our organic-conscious customers.
Our point of
difference starts in the soil, and continues in the seed production, herd
management, and processing. There is nothing artificial in our land, our
animals, or our product. No fertilizers, pesticides, fungicides and GMO’s on
the land, and no antibiotics or hormones on the animals.
One of our
most recent achievements is the upgrade of our manufacturing plant to one of
the most energy efficient companies in South Australia. B.-d. Farm Paris Creek
is one of only a few companies that have received the Clean Energy Grant, which
helped achieve this goal. The different components of this project are solar
electricity, solar hot water and dramatically improved process efficiencies.
ROHDE’S FREE RANGE EGGS
Rohde's have
been producing Free Range Eggs for more than 50 years, in the pristine rural
surrounds of Tarlee, 80 Kilometres north of Adelaide on the edge of the Clare
Valley.
In the
1950s, Ian and Jill Rohde decided to supplement their farm income by dedicating
a small area of their Ruradene Farm property to hens.
Over the
years, demand has continued growing for their quality, free range eggs. In
1998, John & Angela and Ian & Jill expanded the business, harnessing
three generations of Rohde family expertise (including their four children) and
the tireless efforts of their dedicated employees.
Every Rohde
Free Range Egg you buy has been produced by one of 40,000 chooks who roam
freely from paddock to laying shed and produce approximately 32,000 eggs per
day. That mighty effort accounts for one out of every five free range eggs
produced in South Australia!
Life is
blissful for the hens who tuck into the grain grown on the farm and lay in
spacious, comfortable conditions in a modern facility which is carefully
monitored. Conditions are so good that the Ruradene Farm is the only RSPCA
accredited free range egg farm in South Australia!
Before our
Rohde's Free Range Eggs can be distributed to SA retail businesses, restaurants
and hotels/motels, they are graded on the property into 300g and 350g half
dozen cartons, 600g, 700g, 800g cartons and catering packs ready for
immediate sale and use.
Rohde's Free
Range Eggs are Australian Egg Corporation Ltd assured and audited.

WATERLOO WINDFARM
Operating since October 2010,
Waterloo’s 37 turbines generate clean energy to a number of homes in South
Australia. Waterloo
is located 30km from the town of Clare and about 9km east of Manoora. Situated
along a rocky ridge on privately owned property and surrounded by gently
sloping farmland, Waterloo has easy main road access and nearby supporting
infrastructure.
The wind farm consists of:
·
37 turbines
mounted on 80-metre high towers
·
a generation
capacity of 111 megawatts (MW)
·
1.8kms of
132-kilovolt transmission line that connects the Waterloo substation into the
South Australian network via the Waterloo East substation
South Australia has some of the
best wind resources in the world. Strong winds, known as the ‘Roaring 40s’, regularly
blow across this region. These gusts accelerate as they pass over nearby hills
and ridgelines resulting in very high wind speeds.

and demands transformational change.
We developed
our Green Strategy
Plan (1.87 MB PDF
file) outlining what we are doing to reduce our impact on the environment.
Linfox set a
new goal to reduce our rate of greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2015
based on 2006-2007 emissions. This was announced by Linfox CEO Michael Byrne in
March 2010. Linfox has cut its carbon emissions rate by 36 per cent to
date.
We are reducing our greenhouse emissions through improved business practices, environmentally friendly technologies and the behaviour of our people. We are also working with our customers and with government bodies across the Asia Pacific to reduce carbon emissions.

AUSTRALIAN YOUTH CLIMATE COALITION
The AYCC
mission is to build a generation-wide movement to solve the climate crisis
before it’s
too late
At the AYCC
we believe that the best way to build this movement is to give young people the
tools to make it happen. It’s our future at stake, and it’s our creativity and vision that will inspire those
around us to act.
We believe
that climate change is the single greatest threat facing humanity, and puts
young people and future generations at risk. We also believe that addressing
the climate crisis is our biggest opportunity to create a world that is more
sustainable, just and fair.
We believe
that the only way to solve the climate crisis is through a social movement - a
groundswell of support and momentum that is powerful enough to inspire the
change we need and hold decision-makers to account. This will require thousands
of people committed to changing hearts and minds and willing to take deep
action.
That’s why since 2007 we’ve
helped thousands of young Australians take action in their schools, their
universities, and their communities, and take part in campaigns that put
climate change in the national spotlight. The AYCC now has more than 80,000
members, 100 local groups, and more than 500 regular volunteers.
