20.01.2022 Monica Winston: "We are all running on a climate action platform. You can see the details there. We've got a Facebook page called 'Put climate first', and a logo, and we'll all have individual pages. Basically, we are running on four points: 1) Zero emissions by 2030. 2) Localise. That is goods and services, where we are reducing demand and increasing resilience, and strengthening community. 3) Regenerate eco-systems and social system. 4) Citizens democracy. A citizens' g...roups keep things accountable and also that the population is known to be quite forward thinking [when it comes to making common sense decisions on addresing the climate emergency]." Belinda Moloney: "I'm really passionate about reducing my emissions. I've got solar panels, a big veggie garden, and I've been talking the talk for a few years now, but I feel that it is about time that government do something the awful things we've been hearing about, the pollution especially. We are pushing for change within a Council that has been full of people that aren't really on our side. So we'd like to see you get behind us in this action where we are trying to localise our initiatives as well." Monique Connell: "I think that climate activism is as much about supporting business, industry and social activism as it is about campaigning or saving the rain forest. I think if you have a really strong social activism as the key to your climate activism, it enables and educates and supports people to make the right choices and to put the climate first, rather than having to choose."

19.01.2022 The power of a conversation: you never know which conversation will be that one that makes a significant change in your community - or in the world. Trent McCarthy, councillor in Darebin City Council, gives an example of one such conversation. He also shares his advice to anyone who’ll be ‘standing for Earth’ and giving it a go as a candidate in the local elections. My strongest advice [to climate emergency council candidates] is to keep it simple, keep it connected to peopl...e’s lives, and cut through that idea that action on climate - just like any action on the environment - is a costly thing. It actually costs us more if we don’t [take action]. ~ Trent McCarthy, councillor and candidate in Darebin Guests in #TheTunnel today are local government election candidate Monica Winston, climate activist Caroline Danaher, community survey initiator Sanja Van Huet and Councillor Trent McCarthy from Darebin City Council. #Geelong, #VoteTheDifference at the #CouncilElections #ClimateSafetyFirst #VoicesForOurFuture #FridaysForFuture #ThriveForFuture #ClimateEmergency #ClimateEmergencyDeclaration https://www.facebook.com//a.57182793289/4241428162596993/

09.01.2022 On tonight. Everyone welcome! Session 5 : Transport In this session we look at transport - freight and people.... All forms of Transport combined - cars, trucks, public transport, domestic flights and shipping - contribute 18% to our Greenhouse Gas emissions, the second largest after Electricity (33%) and it is growing by 10% per decade despite more efficient vehicles, and energy saving programs. During covid-19 there seems to have been an increase in walking and cycling activities, which is a small positive in an otherwise challenging time. https://zoom.us/j/96400151796 Meeting ID: 964 0015 1796 Thanks to Christie McIntosh from Transition Streets Sunbury for this graphic #transitionaustralia #transitiontowns #transitionstreets #transitionstreetsgeelong

02.01.2022 The single biggest thing you can do to reduce your ecological footprint and reduce greenhouse gases is to move out of banking with the big 4 and others who have been and still are investing millions in fossil fuels. Check https://www.marketforces.org.au/ if you’re unsure. Our local Bendigo Bank is fine and so is Bank Australia who have great online and telephone service. #transitionaustralia #transitiontowns #transitionstreets #transitionstreetsgeelong #divestnow #marketforces
