For more than a decade we’ve been forced to live with the uncertainty of two proposed coal ‘mega mines’ and the threat they pose to our groundwater.
We also face the direct impacts of increased temperatures and more extreme weather events like droughts which can decimate our bioregion. Some plant species and beneficial insects are unable to survive.
Today's fossil fuel industry is [also] fuelling climate change, destroying farmers' water, soil, air, biodiversity and our environment.

I believe we can and should focus on reducing the global footprint this decade. No value can be put on destroying the environment which our survival depends on.
For the sake of the next generation, we have to take action. It’s vital. We can turn this liability into an asset — action that needs to be taken to stop climate change will profit and benefit agriculture and society.
Your voice is powerful. Tell our leaders why you want greater action on climate change.
