Earthworker Cooperative is a social enterprise with a mission to create solutions for transitioning Australia's workforce into a low carbon economy. It aims to create jobs, build social capital and protect the environment in local communities through the manufacture of renewable energy infrastructure. The cooperative factories will be established in regional areas where large proportions of the workforce are dependent on carbon intensive industries and energy generation.
