A coalition of concerned Australians is organising a day of community action this Sunday to raise awareness concerning global warming and to show politicians that the community wants stronger action to limit climate change.
The Walk Against Warming at Martin Place on Saturday will highlight the need for laws to be put in place to reduce Australia's greenhouse pollution through:
* a reduction in energy use
* a shift to renewable energy
* better public transport systems
* an end to land clearing and logging of old growth forests
* a price being placed on carbon pollution
"Join thousands of other Aussies at a Walk Against Warming event to send a clear message to our political leaders that the community wants bolder and more effective government action on climate change,'' a spokesman said.
"Together we can tackle climate change, for the future of our planet, our children and our grandchildren.''
