In Australien lockt das ganz grosse Abenteuer. In der dritten Folge seiner Reise durch Australien trifft Sven Furrer in der Nähe von Canberra auf Karreen Thomas. Sie opfert ihre gesamte Freizeit für die Australian Wildlife Rescue Organisation. Freiwilligenarbeit ist in Australien äusserst populär. Karreen kümmert sich um Känguruwaisen, die meist bei Autounfällen ihre Mutter verloren haben. Sie päppelt die Tiere auf und wildert sie einige Monate später wieder aus. Auf seiner Suche nach dem australischen Glück ist Sven Furrer mit Urs Wälterlin verabredet. Der Australienkorrespondent von Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen zeigt ihm die Hauptstadt Canberra. Urs Wälterlin lebt seit vielen Jahren in Australien. Gemeinsam besuchen sie das nationale Kriegsdenkmal. Seit jeher zieht Australien an der Seite des Mutterlands England in Kriege und Schlachten. Sven Furrer lernt eine unbekannte und bedrückende Seite des «lucky country» kennen. Wälterlin zeigt ihm aber auch sein Anwesen unweit der Hauptstadt und entführt ihn an ein typisch australisches Barbecue. Auf der Farm von Charlie Prell taucht Sven Furrer in das Leben der Schaffarmer ein. Dort angekommen legt er gleich selbst Hand an. Die Region um die Stadt Goulburn war früher das Zentrum der australischen Wollproduktion. Edle Merinowolle eroberte von hier aus die ganze Welt. Doch das Geschäft ist heute schwierig, wie Charlie Prell erzählt. Der Farmer möchte aber mit niemandem auf der Welt tauschen, auch wenn er sich sein Glück hart erarbeiten muss. In den Blue Mountains trifft Seven Furrer einen schrägen Vogel mit klingendem Namen: Chris Darwin ist der Ururenkel von Charles Darwin, dem Begründer der Evolutionstheorie. Der gebürtige Engländer führt das Erbe seines Ahnen fort und setzt sich für den Artenschutz ein. Chris Darwin ist überzeugt, dass man das Glück nur im Einklang mit der Natur finden kann. Der Bergführer nimmt Sven Furrer auf seine Lieblingstour durch eine wildromantische Schlucht mit. Der Moderator muss sich über einen spektakulären Wasserfall abseilen und begibt sich auf Abwege.

Charlie Prell (pictured) chairs Farmers for Climate Action and talks here with Climate Conversations about a recent media release from the group, "Farmers deserve certainty on net-zero target". Charlie's sheep farm at Crookwell, about an hour north of Canberra on the New South Wales southern highlands, hosts a wind farm and being able to see one of the turbines from his kitchen window, Charlie has almost exhausted his adjectives in explaining how wonderful the wind turbines are. He sees wind turbines, and renewable energy generally, as a major step forward in countering the climate crisis and encouraging others to embrace the idea of stepping away from fossil fuels he has said that what happens in 2050 will be dictated by what happens between now and 2030. Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Charlie sees wonderful opportunities unfolding for farmers, and Australians broadly, through the embrace of such things as wind farms and other forms of renewable energy.

In the early 2000s fourth-generation farmer Charlie Prell was looking for ways to lessen the financial and mental burden of the millennium drought. He signed up to host Crookwell 2 windfarm on his property. He's never looked back and now works to encourage other farmers to take up renewables as a secondary income. Charlie Prell is recorded live in conversation with Gabrielle Chan at Powerhouse Ultimo. For more information go to 100climateconversations.com/charlie-prell

Charlie Prell (pictured) is a wool grower from Crookwell in the Australian Captial Territory, who besides hosting 12 wind turbines on his property, is the president of the national 6000-strong organization, Farmers for Climate Action (FCA). Charlie is a community-minded soul and believes that if a farmer hosts renewable energy infrastructure, be that a wind turbine or a solar panel array, that the benefits accruing from that should be shared by all in the district. Along with others on the FCA board, Charlie had hoped his group's usefulness would have already been exhausted, but that is not the case and so the group continues to push for real action on climate change.

UN warns climate inaction will cause more serious and frequent natural disasters but the Morrison government won't budge on a 2050 net zero target.

This week on Wellbeing, we hear two perspectives on how our food choices connect to climate change. Our guests today are Dr Graeme Horton, Doctors for the Environment Australia and Charlie Prell, Chair of Farmers for Climate Action. In this episode, Dr Horton highlights climate changes effect on the food supply chain, how plant-based diets are great for the environment, and the effects of climate change on the wellbeing of farmers. In the second half Charlie tell us his experiences of being a sheep farmer in a changing climate. Tune in next time where we discuss Spasmodic Dysphonia with someone who has the condition.      We would love to hear from you!

Australians coming back from Europe tell the same stories, with the kicker that Australia itself is sitting on a FABULOUS wind resource. If we could think BIG wouldn’t we be able to hurry to 100% and then beyond?. So why all the delays? We wanted to find out how the wind industry is going here. It has been in the doldrums with the wrong signals coming out of Canberra but the Clean Energy Council says there is $5.2billion worth of projects with secure finance and ready to go. We will talk to Andrew Bray from the Australian Wind Alliance for the big picture. We will then go back to 2012 when Viv interviewed a farmer called Paul Reardon . Many listeners told us they liked what he had to say about drought proofing his farm by hosting a few turbines. This meant that he could cut down the number of sheep he was grazing and re vegetate some of the land. We decided to call Paul again this year and hear what happened next at Boorowa. Finally we will talk to Charlie Prell who is with Farmers for Climate Action, about the “Crookwell 2” project. This includes turbines on his farm, a neighbour benefit sharing agreement and a Community Enhancement Fund. Their energy will even light up Parliament house as the ACT government has contracted to take the energy they supply.Read more:The Australian Wind AllianceFarmers for Climate Action …Charlie Prellhttps://yes2renewables.org/2017/03/10/expanded-wind-turbine-production-in-portland-shows-vic-renewable-energy-target-already-creating-jobs/  TeamAndy Britt – productionVivien Langford- interviewsRoger Vize – podcast and archivesJodie Green – podcast graphics and promotion

Charlie Prell runs 800 sheep on his property. He’s also hosting wind turbines on his land, and has come up with a fantastic way to share the revenue with nearby farmers. Charlie’s opinion of politicians who hold back on renewable energy development? Well, let’s just say there are people in power who are much, much less intelligent than sheep.

This BZE Radio episode was broadcast on Monday 21st August 2017 This week we speak to “Farmers for Climate Action”, an alliance of farmers and  leaders in agriculture.Vivien Langford interviews the CEO Verity Morgan-Schmidt about her work advocating for climate conscious farmers to have their voices heard. Verity calls on PM Turnbull to get out of bed with the fossil fuel companies and invest in farmers adapting to changed conditions.Vivien  also speaks with Farmer Charlie Prell, about his experiences pioneering wind energy on farms including the proposed Crookwell 2 project.Finally Kurt Johnson interviews Anika Molesworth who is 2015 Australian Young Farmer of the Year. She has been researching farming methods in Laos and Cambodia and farming at Broken Hill. She says ” Farmers are feeling the heat, from subsistence rice farms in SE Asia to arid outback grazing properties in Australia.”Tune in to hear what a young person finds in farming and why Farmers are taking Climate ActionGuests:Verity Morgan-Schmidt -CEO of Farmers for Climate ActionCharlie Prell – Co-Chair of Farmers for Climate action and Regional director of the Australian  Wind AllianceAnika Molesworth – Farmer for Climate Action and Master of Sustainable AgricultureSummary:Already in Australia climate disruption is creating prolonged droughts and  increased frequency in flooding and bushfires. As farmers derive their livelihood from the land, they are the most vulnerable to these catastrophes, and so have the greatest incentive to prevent their most ruinous effects.A message from farmers all around Australia to the PM on climate change via Farmers for Climate Action CEO Verity Morgan-Schmidt. 21 Aug 2017|Categories: Community Show
