On September 20, we're going to all take the world by storm with our biggest #ClimateStrike ever! Everyone is invited and everyone is needed.
Here are just 10 of a trillion reasons why you should be there with us on September 20...
1. Millions of people will be striking around the world with us. Beat the FOMO and make a plan to be there!
2. Australia’s climate pollution has never been higher than it is right now. [1]
We’re on track to be responsible for almost 1/5 of the world’s climate pollution by 2030. [2]
3. The people who did the least to contribute to this are being hit first and worst by climate impacts. And that’s deeply unfair.
4. This is only the biggest challenge humanity has ever faced. So we kinda all need to step up to help address it.
5. The climate crisis is our biggest opportunity to build a fairer society and economy that works for people and our planet.
6. Adani has never been closer to building their dangerous coal mine. Gas fracking in the NT is charging ahead. And our government is clapping their hands not rolling their sleeves up to stop this!
7. The only thing that’ll fix this crisis is lots of people like you and me organising in our communities and taking to the streets to push the politicians and polluters responsible for this crisis.
8. This photo is all kinds of wrong. Fossil fuel companies have melted that ice by burning too many fossil fuels and dangerously heating up our planet.
9. World leaders will be meeting 3 days after the #ClimateStrike for an emergency climate summit. They need to walk into that meeting with our voices and demands ringing in their ears.
10. Because there may even be delicious ice-cream there (of the vegan, bio-degradable, ethical, all-things-good and virtuous nature of course)….
