Australia-wide ‘Walk against Warming’

Does the Australian Government care about climate change?

Saturday 4 Nov 2006 will be a day of ‘Action on Climate Change’. If you care, you can walk at many places right around the country. Check out the website www.walkagainstwarming.org/index.html

The organisers say, “The Government will only take real action on climate change and protect our kids’ futures if you to tell them to. Join thousands of other Australians in a peaceful walk urging action on climate change now.”
