About  [Edit]

 

As one of South Australia’s foremost community campaign organisations, Friends of the Earth Adelaide works to address social and environmental justice issues through community action. In addition to campaigners working with on climate justice and urban issues, Friends of the Earth Adelaide has two primary campaign collectives.


Mining & Energy
Active since 2005, the Mining & Energy Collective is one of South Australia’s primary campaign groups on mining, energy and nuclear issues.

The collective is committed to creatively

  •  
    •  
      • promoting sustainable, socially and ecologically conscious technologies
      • supporting Indigenous communities adversely affected by the nuclear industry, particularly through uranium mining or nuclear waste dumping
      • raising public awareness about mining and energy issues
      • monitoring the activities of the nuclear industry
Passionate about justice and the health of SA’s fragile arid ecosystems, the collective works on popular education projects to build a broader community understanding of the environmental and cultural impacts of the mining industry. The Mining & Energy Collective also coordinates regular volunteer community work trips to Aboriginal communities in northern South Australia, supports Friends of the Earth's legendary education tour the Radioactive Exposure Tour and is a participant in the Australian Nuclear Free Alliance.


Sustainable Food & Agriculture - Reclaim the Food Chain

Reclaim the Food Chain draws together community members passionate about the politics and practicalities of contemporary food issues. Inspired by the concept of ‘food sovereignty’, the collective campaigns both on the environmental and social impacts of agriculture, trade and aid policy (for example, the impact of Free Trade Agreements or corporate control of food production and retailing) as well as having a strong emphasis on local, practical food production and community building.

 

With the Goodwood Goodfood Co-op, the food collective initiated the Urban Orchard homegrown fruit and vegetable exchange at the Clarence Park Community Centre, and has since conducted the exchange at a variety of locations, including the WOMADelaide World Music Festival.
