Action on Climate Change
International Day of Action on Climate Change
WALK AGAINST WARMING
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4th
in Newcastle, Maitland and Sydney
All are urged to join this growing movement demanding deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions through:
* Renewable energy guarantees
* No new coal fired power or mines
* Better public transport
You can participate in either the NEWCASTLE or MAITLAND events, in view of the significance of our port being the largest coal exporter in the southern hemisphere. Help stop expansion of the coal industry and campaign for clean, renewable energy.
NEWCASTLE EVENT:
The recently-formed group, Climate Action Newcastle, is organising an event on Nobbys Beach (rather than a walk). They are asking you to join together to make a huge human sign on the beach, reading:
BEYOND COAL ... RENEWABLES.
To achieve this, at least 800 people are needed. So as well as yourself, please bring your family, friends, colleagues and neighbours.
Assemble at 1.00 pm (for a 2.00 pm photo shoot of the display), at the Surf Lifesaving Club end of Nobbys Beach.
It would help if people intending to come could register beforehand.
Please phone 8588 1260 to leave a message.
