• Avoiding the emission of 108.5tonnes of CO2e per day, equal 4,985 trees growing for 1 year

This year:

• 25.73 GWh of solar Generation
• $4,333,463 in energy savings
• 45,538,241 litres of water savings

In Context:

In Australia there are 9,542 schools, there are only 6,500 (approx.) service stations and 994 Woolworths supermarkets.  Schools emit about 2.3 million tonnes of CO2e from energy consumption alone, in comparison with Woolworths who emit about 2.3 to 2.4 million tonnes of CO2e for total operations per year.  Schools also emit more co2e per year than BHP operations.
