The Sutherland Climate Action Network's Big Solar Launch on March 10 at Cronulla Beach certainly put a smile on my face, though one's looks can hardly be clouded while posing in Sue's bright sun costume

Across Australia on June 5 people will stand up and say YES to action on climate change a price on pollution!

In today's Canberra Times, Greens senator, Christine Milne, stated, almost verbatim, 100% Renewables demand for Australia to implement the transition from fossil fuels to renewables.
''While Labor is still wedded to its outdated target to reduce Australia's pollution by 60per cent by 2050, the Greens read and understand the climate science and are committed to setting Australia on the path to a zero emissions economy as soon as possible,'' Senator Milne said.

Here's is a link to an article in the Climate Spectator which covers the 1,000 page IPCC report which details how, and at what cost, the world could be powered by renewables by 80%: http://www.climatespectator.co

The Australian Conservation Fund (ACF) has recently published a report detailing the $12 billion of subsidies being paid in support of fossil fuels: http://www.acfonline.org.au/uploads/res/climate_expenditure_and_subsidies.pdf
Wouldn't be great if this hypocrisy was turned around 180% and those funds given to renewables! There'd be no need for a market based carbon pollution price and they could get on with implementing a national FiT insteadl!!

Today, I'm writing through bleary eyes home in Sydney following my return from six weekends of campaign workshops in six towns across the country. I'm not quite sure what city I'm in and my bedroom looks like a hurricane has hit, hurling used butchers paper, scrunched clothes and old flyers around the room.
My topsy turvy home life is only matched by the topsy turvy world outside - a world where angry Abbott and his attempted people's revolt, together with parts of the the media, are doing their darnedest to block any action on climate change.

Volunteers from Sutherland Climate Action Network spent Sunday morning doorknocking in Cronulla to gauge community support for renewable energy, as part of a world’-wide day of community climate action, billed as the most widespread civic event in history.
The survey of south Cronulla residents found strong support for renewable energy, with 83% saying the government should develop a plan to shift Australia to 100% renewable energy. The group's surveys at local shopping centres showed 92% of respondents wanting a plan for 100% renewables.

After the flood of fabulous launch photos coming in from community groups around the country, I had lots of fun sorting and resizing and captioning them appropriately, putting them all into the slideshow that you can now see on the website front page, and uploading them to the flickr page.
