Switch off Hazelwood

World Enviroment Day is 10/10/10 this year. And what better way to help the environment than to help replace the most polluting power station in the industrialised world with clean, green – renewable energy.

That’s right CAMsters – it Switch Off Hazelwood time. Last year hundreds of people traveled to the Latrobe Valley to issue the operators of Australia’s largest single source of carbon pollution with a “Community Decommission” order. It was a great fun filled family day with plenty of action from the Carbon Cops, Wombat Warriors, Radical Cheerleaders, Ministers for Energy Resources and Silly Walks, and the Climate Clowns. Check out the ‘flickr photos‘ page from last year.

This year is shaping up to be another cracker of a day with hundreds of volunteers coming together to help build Australia’s first solar thermal array. And the timing couldn’t be better with Hazelwood being the focus of the Media, Federal & State Governments in the past months. There will also be heaps of great music, inspiring speakers and some time to grab a bite to eat.

So come join us on Sunday 10 October at the community day of action.
