if you're new to this issue you might be wondering what you can do to make small differences at home as well - check out Greenpeace's 12 steps to save electricity (and help the planet) for practical information and tips.
About YCAN!
Yarra Climate Action Now is an independent community group based in inner-city Melbourne made up of individuals who are concerned about the climate crisis. We are pushing for the urgent worldwide action needed to avoid runaway climate change and the associated impacts. We are interested in the possibility of making a difference in the community through education, lobbying, workshops and other activities. We are part of the Climate Emergency Network and a national network of grassroots climate action groups. This blog will be a place for us to talk about climate change issues, exchange ideas, link to information and hopefully open a world of possibilities.
Please feel free to leave comments, ask questions or make suggestions - community input is always appreciated!
