Your Questions,
Answered

What is our core mission?

We’re a community-led climate organisation powered by Asian voices. Our mission is to turn culture, lived experience and community care into climate action — and to push for solutions that are fair, inclusive, and actually work for households and communities.

What do you actually do and how can I get involved?

We run community events, share practical resources (like guides on electrifying your home), and work with policymakers and partners to advocate for better climate and energy outcomes. You can get involved by attending an event, joining our newsletter, volunteering, or partnering with us on community outreach.

Is going electric or “living greener” going to cost me more?

Not necessarily. Many upgrades can save money over time through lower energy bills and improved efficiency, especially switching from gas to efficient electric appliances. We focus on practical steps and explain rebates, incentives and “no-regrets” actions so you can prioritise what makes sense for your budget.
