Brian's Big Banner!

How good is this? Brian Peck visited our Tuesday Climate Action at Lindfield, bringing his BIG banner. Look at the size of it.


We had another encouraging day on the street. There were lots of good conversations as we handed out flyers encouraging people to contact Paul Fletcher to ask for stronger climate policy.

It has been a strong week on climate news this week, partly because the awesome Christina Figueres, architect of the Paris Agreement, is in Australia at present. She wrote an article for the Sydney Morning Herald where she is upfront - "Be Honest Australia, you are not 'meeting and beating' your emissions targets". She advocates for a very positive future without fossil fuels. 
It is time to move on from denial, delusion and delay towards preparedness, productivity and prosperity.
Her new book, "The Future We Choose", is available now. It's on my list!

Finally, here's a photo of schoolkids at Lindfield this week. On their way to school, they clowned around our "Honk for Climate Action" sign while waiting to cross the road. It was fun to see their glee at the honks they got.


This is the 'make or break' decade for a liveable planet. These kids will be young adults by the end of the decade. Their generation will carry the heaviest burden of the climate disasters to come.
