CAN annual lecture

Dear CAN supporters,

Some news for you: 

1. CAN's Annual Lecture is on soon! Hugh Mackay, Australia's foremost social commentator is coming to Newcastle on Monday 16th March, 6:30pm for 7pm at Newcastle City Hall. See the flyer here. Hugh will talk on the topic: "Climate change: what we say and what we do". Forward widely to your networks as this is guaranteed to be a fantastic talk.

2. Federal Government moves to secretly drop the requirements for Australia's biggest carbon polluters to release figures on energy production to the public. You can voice your opinion with Getup's campaign here.

3. Newcastle's Going Solar: Rebates are ending soon! If you are still thinking about going solar and haven't done anything yet- we have some news. You now have two options for Going Solar: Round 2 with Aussie Solar or Round 3 with Sydney Energy Cooperative. To read more, click here. 

4. Harbour Flotilla: Rising Tide is again organising the "People's Blockage of the World's Biggest Coal Port". This family-friendly fun protest is on 21st March at Horseshoe Beach. Read more about the flotilla at Rising Tide's website.

5. Here's one for all CAN kids: Captain Planet episodes are screening on the net here!

6. Join the national day of action against the CPRS (in its current pathetic form): On 27th March 2009 people concerned about climate change around the country will be taking action at the office of their local federal Labor politician to tell them we need to reduce greenhouse emissions, not pay polluters. Watch this space. For more info click here.

7. And finally some news snippets for you: some good news and some not-so-good news. 

See you at the CAN annual lecture!

Kind Regards,

The volunteers at Climate Action Newcastle
