[permaculture-oceania] Canberra Action Day for Clean Energy

[Champagne]

Warm Greetings,

Just a note to endorse Vicki's call for participating in this event. 
Matthew Notts Clean Energy for Eternity group here in the Bega Valley 
have certainly created waves for our decision makers. They got 3000 
people to an earlier event in Tathra to form a human sign that 
represents 10% of our Shire population.The result of that effort was 
that our council committed themselves to a 50\50 renewable energy target 
by 2020.

This event in Canberra on Sunday will place the issue of renewable 
energy right in their face. That picture of a human sign with possibly 
10,000 people in it will be front page in most national papers on Monday 
morning.

All the current polls for the next federal election are showing the 
environment is looming as a major issue with voters. As 
permaculturalists with lobbying power, our task is to lift the level of 
the energy debate within all political parties, including The Greens.

Kind Regards
John Champagne
