The plastic bag prohibition recently took effect in an additional part of Los Angeles County, and this time it will be Manhattan Beach. The ban will affect the sale and use of plastic-type bags in all of the restaurants, drug stores, supermarkets and food vendors around the city. To support businesses in proceeding with the plastic prohibition, the city council has approved a grace period to move away from the plastic bags.

I developed an interest in the Australian energy and construction sectors more than a decade ago and have since closely followed the trends, technologies and developments shaping both industries. My involvement in the Australian solar market began in 2008, and over the years I have built strong connections with professionals, businesses and organisations across the construction, solar and renewable energy sectors in Australia and internationally. These connections include solar panel and inverter manufacturers, electrical and construction industry professionals, software developers creating tools to quote, monitor and manage solar power systems, and media organisations that closely follow developments across energy, construction and renewable technologies. Today, I continue to contribute as an industry advocate, author and commentator, sharing practical insights and information to help Australian consumers and businesses better understand solar power, energy technologies, construction-related developments and the changing Australian energy landscape.
