YCAN! Community Meeting, 13th June

YCAN! has been busy on a number of fronts over the past few months. We have begun lobbying the Yarra council to move to a Zero Net Emissions policy, engaging the state and federal government on no new coal fired power stations and general climate change issues, compiling a submission for the Eddington inquiry and attending various community events.

It is now time to begin and launch our community outreach projects. We have some ideas, but really, we want to hear from you! What do you need to begin and further address climate change within your life? How can we as a community work together to achieve a sustainable future!

Please come along to our next meeting and tell us what you and the community needs. We're excited about the difference we can all make, here and NOW!

When: Wednesday, 13th June
Where: Kindness House, 288 Brunswick St, Fitzroy
Time: 6:30pm -7:30pm

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!
