Devastated at the death of Dr Heinz-Joachim Muller

I write on behalf of the Peninsula Environment Group to say how devasted we are by the recent death of Joachim "Jo" Muller.

Joachim was a local environmental hero, tirelessly dedicated to raising awareness of climate change and renewable energy in particular.

A member of the Greens and a founding member of the environment group, Joachim was involved in the group's first bulk-buy of solar panels, conducting home energy audits, and giving many talks on solar power.

Joachim later set up the Central Coast Community Energy Association.

Although unsuccessful in the original goal of a community-owned wind farm, his efforts were a catalyst for the installation of large rooftop solar systems at Deepwater Plaza, Peninsula Leisure Centre and elsewhere.

A scientist and industrial chemist, Joachim's passion was inventing and refining new ways to use solar - such as solar ovens and new types of solar water heaters - and helping people analyse the costs and benefits of solar panels and batteries.

From Germany, Joachim was a keen bushwalker with a deep love for the nature of his adopted country, and especially the beautiful surroundings of our Peninsula.

He died, of a heart attack, just days before setting off on a multi-day hike, seemingly in rude health.

Our thoughts go out to his wife Liz, his children Hannah and Ruben, and his grandchildren.
