Consider supporting 350.org Australia

Dear Friend,

“…if Australia builds up its coal exports as currently planned, it would produce 30% of the carbon needed to push global warming beyond two degrees. By 2020 the country’s coal burnt abroad will be producing three times as much CO2 as all the country’s cars and factories and homes; by 2025, four times. And so on.”

That’s an excerpt from an article we just have to share – Bill McKibben’s game-changing piece fresh out in the June issue of The Monthly, titled “How Australian Coal is Causing Global Damage”. If there was ever a piece to bring the impact of Australia’s planned coal export expansion under the spotlight, then this is it. Please take a moment to read and share it, and consider supporting 350.org Australia so we can continue doing this important work (keep reading for how to do that part!).

We also wanted to let you know that Bill is appearing on ABC’s Q&A TONIGHT at 9.30pm! Tune in to see Bill at his climate sceptic-crushing best!

While it’s a hugely exciting week ahead, we also know who we are up against – the coal industry – who are loaded with money to spread their mistruths. We on the other hand are driven by volunteers (mostly!), creativity and passion. We’ve thrown absolutely everything we’ve got into this tour and the campaign we’re launching to take on the fossil fuel industry. We’ve reached the point where we need your help to keep scaling up our efforts from here on in.

Will you donate to 350.org Australia to enable us to do this important work? Please click here to see how you can set up regular, monthly giving to support our work. From $100/month to $15/month, we’ll be thrilled to get everybit. And if monthly giving ain’t your thing, there is also details for one off donations.

Thanks again for your support,

Onwards, and upwards!

 

Blair, Bill, Aaron, Tim & Charlie and everyone else involved.
