Lynda Winter, Rotary Market Mundaring 🙂
Australia’s, and indeed the world’s, greenhouse gas emissions are not going down at anything like the rate that’s needed for a safe climate.
All levels of government need to act now – and respond to the seriousness of our climate emergency.
Since the July Newsletter, here are the key things that your committee has done:
- Engaged with the newly established hills environment group – Darling range ACF
- Supported the growth of the Millennium Kids Agents of Climate change program
- Made a submission to the Environment Protection Authority (WA) to call for a public environment review of a proposed expansion to Alcoa’s bauxite mining in the Darling Range.
- Commenced collaboration with the Conservation Council of WA, for the Go Beyond Gas campaign.
- Prepared an advocacy statement about the Middle Arm Precinct and Beetaloo Basin Shale-Fracking gas field, requested a meeting with Tania Lawrence, MP, put information about Beetaloo on stalls, and put updates on Facebook .
- Finalised the WA Government and Climate Advocacy position paper.
- Held a stall at the Rotary Market in Mundaring on the 10th September (with thanks to Lynda and Lynda’s granddaughter, and Ailsa and Cathy), and arranged to hold a stall at the Kalamunda Farmers Market on the 1st October.
