Dear Friend,

The tour is over and the campaign begins! With almost 30 volunteer coordinators across the country swinging into action, Go Fossil Free Australia is heating up. In case you missed it in all the excitement of Bill’s talk, here are four simple ways you can get involved in building a fossil free Australia today:

Action 1: Take your money out of fossil fuels

Superannuation – Ask your super fund where they’re investing your money, ask them to stop funding fossil fuel projects and consider shifting to a better fund if they are not willing to stop this destructive funding. Click here to contact your fund today and click here to find out how well your fund performs and/or locate a better fund.

Banks – Commit to moving your money if the Big 4 won’t stop funding fossil fuel expansion – click here. We are currently working with Market Forces to develop a comprehensive list of alternative banks who do not invest in fossil fuel projects but in the meantime, you might like to consider Bank MECU, Bendigo Bank or Community CPS Australia.

Action 2: Start or join a local campaign

Head to our campaign map to locate divestment campaigns in your area or start your own. To contact your local 350 divestment coordinators:

Action 3: Join the Climate Action Frontline

Action 4: Make a Donation

Pressed for time? Why not consider a small or big donation to the campaign? Every dollar goes straight into building a fossil free Australia – for resources, campaign materials, training organizers and running events. You can donate in one of 2 easy ways:

1. Direct debit: Click here

2. Crowd-funding: Chip in at: startsomegood.com/350ppm

Your support and action will enable us to scale up at the urgency that is required to move Australia beyond fossil fuels. Onward we go!

P.S. — If you haven’t already seen it, check out the Climate Commission’s latest report The Critical Decade 2013: Climate change science, risks and response, which concurs with Bill’s message that most of our carbon reserves must stay in the ground to have any hope of securing a safe climate future.
