Raising climate issues at Glenroy Festival

Today we were at the Glenroy Festival with a stall in conjunction with Neighbours United for Climate Action, Newlands Friends of the Forest, and The Climate Action Game.

Beautiful sunny day. Just as well, as we didn’t have the 30kg weights per leg to put up our stall marquee.

We talked to a lot people highlighting the Climate Carnival event (FB) on May 6-7 in Brunswick East, and the next session of the Adaptation Game to be held at CERES on June 18.

We had the seven figures from the latest IPCC climate Report Summary for Policymakers as A2 posters people could look at.

Also information on the environmental and health impacts of Synthetic turf, and Melbourne Airport 3rd Runway expansion.

Northern Transport Corridor and the 2022 election results. Time to upgrade, extend Upfield line to Wallan

Congratulations to Tim Read, Anthony Cianflone, Kathleen Matthews-Ward election to parliament for Merribek

For the first time the three State MPs representing Merribek have all signed a climate emergency declaration. Congratulations to Dr Tim Read, Kathleen Matthews Ward and Anthony Cianflone. We look forward to working constructively with you in the next parliamentary term for ambitious climate action and rapid reduction in greenhouse gas emissions for Victoria.

We also think there is a lesson here for Labor, reflected in the election results, in the lack of addressing public transport upgrade in the northern transport corridor, for duplication and extension of the Upfield line to Wallan.
