2009 is shaping up to be an exciting, and in fact critical, year for climate change! On the exciting front, Earth Hour is set to be a huge event this year - up to 1 billion people around the world will be participating in the single biggest environmental action on the planet! Register your participation NOW at www.earthhour.org.
By way of declaring a vested interest, I am organising Earth Hour in Queensland!
Also, the groundswell of interest in and awareness of climate change and what it will take to prevent it reaching dangerous levels is growing. New events, forums and lectures about reducing carbon emissions seem to be happening every day. It's inspiring to see so many people getting involved and taking action!
On the critical front, the conference in Copenhagen at the end of the year will set the targets for global action to reduce CO2 emissions post-Kyoto. It is so important that world leaders realise that they have a mandate from their citizens to take strong, decisive and courageous action. And the only way that they will get that mandate is if we give it to them!
For the CRAG, I'm looking forward to continuing to develop how we want the group to work and what goals we want to set this year. The first meeting for the year is on 9 February at 2 Broadway Street, Red Hill, 7pm - 8.30pm. Hope to see you there!
