5-6pm: Saltgrass  (1 - 29 January)
Saltgrass highlights and celebrates what people are doing about the climate crisis in their own communities.  This show was born out of frustration at watching the Australian government consistently make decisions that favoured the fossil fuel industry, even as the majority of Australians said that they were worried about climate change. It became more and more apparent that the answer would have to come from the ground up, that is, every day people doing what they could in their region to make a change.  Created on Jaara country in Castlemaine, Central Victoria, Australia and shared nationally via the Community Radio Network.
