Transport

The SLA Transport Group is here to promote clean and green transport as part of our transition to a sustainable future.

We aim to raise awareness, encourage innovative transport alternatives and help break down barriers to a more sustainable transport environment than the dominant petroleum-driven approach.

Transport emissions are the most rapidly growing source of atmospheric carbon dioxide – primarily due to ever-increasing levels of car ownership and use.

Couple this with dwindling oil reserves and we have a very significant problem – particularly with Australia being so heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Positive solutions must be implemented in wealthy nations like Australia to positively influence the governments and consumers of places like China and India to reduce the global impact of climate change now and into the future. Local communities like Armidale have a big role in making this happen!
