Write to the Editor about Climate Change targets

in

Don't let your Government put up the white flag on Climate Change! 

Instead of a 5 to 15% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, Australia must start work building a zero emissions economy, with reductions of at least 40% below 1990 levels by 2020 on the way there. The best economies this century will be those based on environmental excellence.

The recognised minimum of 25% reduction by 2020 in greenhouse gas emissions has become, instead, a maximum for Rudd who is not disputing press speculation that he will set Australia's target as low as a 5-15% reduction.

Write to the Editor of your newspaper, and make your voice heard! Tell them you don't want to see ineffective targets that will mean Australia puts up the white flag on Climate Change.
