10.01.2022 Petition calling for a Royal Commission into the concentration of media ownership in Australia. The Murdoch press has manipulated and distorted the climate debate for years. It is frightening that the majority of our print media is controlled by them. Even his son James Murdoch quit the organisation stating the role of media should be to 'introduce fact to disperse doubt, not to sow doubt to obscure fact' (New York Times)... https://www.aph.gov.au/petition_list?id=EN1938 See more

07.01.2022 When so many other countries have already committed to achieving NET ZERO by 2050 or sooner - it is shameful we - Australia - are amongst the worst polluters in the world and have no meaningful strategy to do anything about it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CFdex6xj71Y/?igshid=hpivxo9pr2ht

06.01.2022 Tomorrow is @natwalktoschool Day. If walking to school isn’t possible, then make the walk home instead or walk part of the way. Not only will it be good for your health, it’s a great way to reduce our daily carbon footprint. Why not commit to doing it once a day, a week or every month. Starting a local walking bus with neighbours and locals is the perfect way to connect with community. . . . . ... #environment #nature #sustainability#climatechange #ecofriendly#savetheplanet #zerowaste#sustainable #earth #gogreen#green#recycle #eco #plasticfree#globalwarming #globalwarmingawareness #pollution#reuse#climate #sustainableliving #environmentallyfriendly #conservation #ourbluedotaustralia #bethechange #everylittlecounts #thinkglobalactlocal #northernbeachescouncil #newnormal #thefuturewechoose See more
