Actions against climate changeThis is a dynamic and growing list of the actions you can take to stop climate chaos. It was inspired by Rising Tide UK's 50 things you can do list. If you have any suggested additions, leave a comment at the bottom of this page. If it's genuine, we'll probably add it. Let it never be said that "there's nothing I can do to fight climate change!"

Black handprints that the Greenhouse Mafia left on Combet's door On Friday, May 8, representatives from the world's coal corporations went to Cardiff to see Greg Combet, the government's Secretary for Climate Change. They were lobbying for free pollution permits, just three days after the government had given them a lot more. We went along to expose that the coal industry had their black fingerprints all over the Government's pollution trading scheme. Submitted by mustard on 8 May 2009 - 7:05pm.

URGENT ACTION: EMAIL FEDERAL CABINET MEMBERS TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY MUST NOT INCLUDE 5-15% IN THE EXPOSURE DRAFT LEGISLATION OF THE CARBON POLLUTION REDUCTION SCHEME (CPRS)
The exposure draft legislation for the CPRS is due out any day now (in the next week). Cabinet members will be meeting very soon to finalise the draft legislation. Australia's Climate Action Day If you were shocked and saddened by the Government's cop-out 5-15% greenhouse gas emissions reduction target, join us in Canberra for the first day of Federal Parliament in 2009. For more information see www.climatesummit.org.au Make a submission on the Green PaperThe Australian Government is asking for public comment on its discussion paper (also known as a "Green Paper") on a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. It's important that lots of people write in demanding real action, because powerful industry groups like coal and aluminium will be pushing hard to continue business as usual. We urge you to write a submission. To make it easier, we've drawn up this one-page guide. Submissions must also include this cover sheet. Submissions are due September 10th. For more info on the process, and to read the discussion paper ("Green Paper") go to the government website. Submitted by administrator on 8 August 2008 - 4:14pm.
