Zane and Jacob interview Anna Boddenberg from Earthworker cooperative about the ‘walk with the valley’ and the announcement that the full closure of Hazelwood is likely to occur next year. Listen here. Anna paints a vision for how the Eureka’s future solar hot water co-op and other co-ops under the earthworker umbrella could ramp up to help absorb job losses from the closure of Hazelwood, while stressing that the project is not intended to be a ‘silver bullet’. http://earthworkercooperative.com.au/
