The native forest logging industry is a fundamental danger to Australia's natural environment and an utter disaster for climate change policy.

Fear a world run by people who destroy Nature for convenience or profit...or those who simply turn away when action is needed to stop the destruction. It may be inconvenient but our children & theirs need us to take action NOW.

Greg Mullins, Climate Councillor & former Commissioner of Fire and Rescue NSW will be my guest on Celebrating Earth & Art tomorrow morning at 10.40am. Greg will be talking about the prospect of an intense bushfire season supercharged by El Niño and climate change, how volunteer and full-time firefighters are feeling after back-to-back fires & flood recovery work & that all important need for better resourcing. He famously said: "It actually makes me really angry when people who are supposed to be leaders of this nation wimp out and don’t want to talk about why it’s getting worse and worse."
Hope you can join us on River fm 92.9 or listen live online from anywhere Tuesdays 10 am - 12 noon

Strong action against climate change is needed so that 2019/20's bushfires don't become the norm.

This report by Blueprint Institute is an invaluable & timely resource for those letters to NSW State Ministers as well as Federal Ministers calling for an end to native forest logging & siting the economic benefits backing up benefits to environment, biodiversity & climate action. I encourage everyone to write to all ministers but especially NSW Premier Minns, Treasurer Mookhey, Ministers Penny Sharpe,Rose Jackson, Courtney Houssos & Tara Moriarty. In Federal parliament: PM Albanese, Treasurer Jim Chalmers, Ministers Tanya Plibersek & Madeleine King.
You can find their contacts in Google or your favorite search engine. We can do this!

The Minns government’s failure to immediately halt Forestry Corporation NSW plans to log the proposed Great Koala National Park on the Mid North Coast is a policy travesty.

The Great Koala National Park looks likely to go ahead after a decade of campaigning by conservationists. But the NSW forestry industry, which logs in the proposed park area, is likely to be impacted.

This was such a good event last night in Lismore. Dr Angela Frimberger of 'Vets for Climate Action' was just brilliant! Don't think I've ever heard a clearer, more concise explanation of what is actually happening with our climate, the causes, how it is effecting & will effect all animals ...including us, what needs to be done & how we can make a difference. Many thanks to Angela, Emily Jones & John Redmayne for such a very enjoyable informative evening . I have invited Angela to be my guest on 'Celebrating Earth & Art' & delighted to say she will join us very soon. "Climate Change is an Animal Welfare Issue"

Over the next few days, our deputy chair Dr Angela Frimberger (in collaboration with Farmers for Climate Action) will be travelling across Northern NSW to talk about the impacts of climate change on livestock and other animals. All of these events are free of charge and we would love to see you there! To RSVP to an event please go to: https://farmersforclimateaction.org.au/portfolio/protecting-our-livestock/

Australia is in the midst of serious ongoing environmental crises. The now ousted Perrottet/Kean NSW Govt team made the wrong choice, turning its back on the environmental devastation sweeping the state, despite grim assessments by environmental scientists & ever more urgent calls from the community. Their response was not to protect but to increase penalties for those courageous souls who say STOP! Will the Minns Labor Govt allow this appalling carnage to continue? Or will they LISTEN & put policy in place to transition the few impacted native forest workers & finally stop this loss-making, unsustainable, destructive industry that is devastating the forests' habitats & carbon storage capability.
