Across Australia on June 5 people will stand up and say YES to action on climate change a price on pollution!
At 11am (1pm in Brisbane, 1.30 in Canberra) on Sunday, June 5, we'll come together in every major city to show our support for action on climate change.
I have a confession to make. In all my 31 years I have never been involved in any form of environmental activism, be it a rally, a sit-in or even petitioning. Yet in less than two weeks I will be co-hosting a community forum for my local MP Tony Windsor, trying to persuade him that he should alter 2011's most controversial piece of legislation to reflect the views of his constituents.
How on earth did this happen?
