25.01.2022 The hardest hit making a difference! Knox's 2020-21 budget includes $114m for capital expenditure - plenty of opportunity for jobs AND climate mitigation/adaptation?

24.01.2022 What can councillors and their councils do for climate action? Here's a great presentation from CACE that's easy to digest but communicates the issues and possible actions. 52 mins that goes quick!

23.01.2022 Best news all day

21.01.2022 Less than 5 per cent of eastern Tasmania’s kelp forests remain. https://www.abc.net.au//tasmania-giant-kelp-fore/11209188

20.01.2022 Before voting, please contact your candidate directly and ask what their Climate Plan is. (contacts in comments below) We can't assume they accept climate science - the word 'climate' is only used 4 times in all 29 electoral candidate statements! If you get a generic response, ask what they will ACTUALLY do.

20.01.2022 Great work Macedon Ranges Shire! The problem remains and we need action.

20.01.2022 Why is it necessary for a new class of super-crime to be created - "ECOCIDE"? (We are living through it in Western NSW). Because of selfish, outdated backwards thinking politicians like this one. HOW DARE THEY.

18.01.2022 Interesting perspective on the critical importance of innovation when tackling climate change. Google search: "ABC 7.30 reaching zero emissions" (Sorry, fb blocked the content even though the ABC is taxpayer funded. Lucky they don't own coal power plants!)

18.01.2022 Tune in or watch later! Council’s role with sustainable development.

17.01.2022 Sustainability Conference is THIS Friday. See below for details & tickets.

16.01.2022 Interesting perspective on the critical importance of innovation when tackling climate change. https://www.abc.net.au//reaching-zero-emissions-w/13161502

15.01.2022 So very very true! Be the change

14.01.2022 The problem hasn't gone away. Unfortunately our horrific experience is being repeated overseas. https://www.sbs.com.au//australia-in-january-california-in

13.01.2022 Our climate is changing, why aren’t we? @tuesdaysfortrash via @awandafullife (IG)

11.01.2022 A great article about heat issues and adaptation. And it’s not limited to schools, it can be done everywhere in public! Moving mature has been done worldwide. Imagine if councils required developers to move perfectly good mature trees to be used for natural shade. https://mobile.abc.net.au//western-sydney-school/12779666

10.01.2022 THIS JUST IN: The Royal Commission’s final bushfire report has just been released, and it could not be clearer on climate change: stronger action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is a fundamental part of addressing our escalating disaster risks.

07.01.2022 The more pressure on Scott Morrison the better! https://www.theage.com.au//revved-up-boris-leaves-old-foss

05.01.2022 Pollution from power plants, vehicles and other sources accounted for one in five of all deaths that year, more detailed analysis reveals https://www.theguardian.com//fossil-fuels-pollution-deaths

04.01.2022 Council elections are here and candidate surveys matter! Please complete all of your candidates' surveys and list Climate Change as a HIGH priority. If we don't highlight Climate Change they can use these surveys as an excuse to not act in the future, despite being important to the community.... All issues will be important, but Council is already required to focus on them under the Local Government Act!

01.01.2022 Our children are watching and waiting for us to lead! Despite the pandemic, almost two thirds of people around the world now view climate change as a global emergency. More than a million people in 50 countries took part in the survey, with almost half the participants aged between 14 and 18.... https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-55802902
