This is the Wikipedia user page of Nick Carson, of Melbourne, Australia, community organiser, radio presenter, student and volunteer involved in a number of non-profit community groups and organisations. Since early 2010 I have been editing, co-producing and presenting Beyond Zero Emissions radio show on 3CR Melbourne. I contribute to some highly pretentious contemporary sonic projects and am a keen advocate for sustainability, social justice, equality, democracy and peace.
In 2010 I ran as the Greens candidate for the Victorian state seat of Doncaster, campaigning heavily on public transport and planning issues. I have also been an organiser of several community actions in Melbourne on renewable energy, climate change, corporate greed, political corruption, democracy and free education amongst other things. In late September 2011 I was part of the first wave of people to bring the global Occupy Movement to Australia, helping Occupy Melbourne get off the ground and founding the Facilitation and Media Working Groups.
Formally, I've been awarded a Certificate II in Arts (2003), a Diploma of Architectural Drafting (2006), a Diploma of Sustainability (2010), and currently study Fine Art at RMIT. I occasionally contribute articles to independent media and am also an editor at Greenlivingpedia.org. My personal website can be found here.
