WEBSITE REVIEW: Rocky Mountain Institute

http://rmi.org
As they say:
"Rocky Mountain Institute is an entrepreneurial nonprofit organization that fosters the efficient and restorative use of resources to make the world secure, just, prosperous, and life-sustaining. We do this by inspiring business, civil society, and government to design integrative solutions that create true wealth.

Our staff shows businesses, communities, individuals, and governments how to create more wealth and employment, protect and enhance natural and human capital, increase profit and competitive advantage, and enjoy many other benefits—largely by doing what they do far more efficiently.

Our work is independent, nonadversarial, and transideological, with a strong emphasis on market-based solutions."

This site is from the US so some of this site is not valid for Australia. However it is full of very practical and clever knowledge on creating change in many spheres including: energy, buildings and land, businesses, communities, climate, transportation and water.
Some great features you may like to take advantage of are in the "resource section"
+free access to their download library, with many relevant texts and books in .pdf
+Discussion groups with ongoing conversations on many topics
