Parents for Climate

🤝 How many politicial meetings can you have in one day 3, 5, 11 or 19? Hear the answer from Mike Pulsford and Nic Seton as they wrap up their week in Canberra. They had a huge week at Parliament of Australia 🇦🇺 They were very busy discussing how ☀ renewable energy is the answer to lowering 🔋 power bills for everyone 👀 watch the video #cleanenergy #lowerpowerbills #canberra #parentpower

🤔 Simple, right?! "Our kids are counting on us," Parents for Climate spokesman Nic Seton said. "Australia should be leading the world in building clean energy and upgrading polluting industries to build the brightest, safest future." ☀ 🌱 🌏 https://lnkd.in/eFEYhkkU #netzero2035 #globalleader #cleanenergy #ourkidsarecountingonus

📰 Great news! EnergyAustralia - Australia’s third largest carbon polluter 🏭 - has 🛑 stopped selling polluting gas and electricity as “carbon neutral” to new customers. ✅ We’ve won one of our demands - part of our ongoing court case against EnergyAustralia’s misleading and deceptive climate claims. This means less #greenwashing and more integrity in marketing climate impacts. This win wouldn’t be possible without support like yours 🙌 . Companies are getting wise to the risks of #greenwashing thanks to increased public scrutiny from our legal case and campaign. EnergyAustralia is still misleading its current Go Neutral customers. And until we go to court, we can't guarantee that EnergyAustralia won’t restart its “carbon neutral” product in the future.  Watch this space 👀 #climateaction #parentsforclimate #carbonneutral #genuineemissionsreduction

Love this! A clear and constructive illustration of industry transition pathways 💚🦺 With so many #OffshoreWind projects in the pipeline, now is the time for workers employed in traditional fossil fuel-based industries to start considering their training and re-skilling pathways.

🖍️🌏❣️ We had a great time this weekend at the Gold Coast’s Botanical Bazaar festival - at the 'Climate Solutions' stall, alongside lots of inspiring climate action groups! We had climate flags craft and 'Solar Our Learning' colouring in for the kids; info and upcoming events for all ages; and even an electric vehicle powering our TV and coffee machine!

Are you in Melbourne this August? Join us at the 🌏 World Premiere of the new Australian feature doc FUTURE COUNCIL by Director Damon Gameau (2040, THAT SUGAR FILM).  Come and say 👋 'hi' to us in the foyer. 🎥 The film will be premiering at the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) at 1pm on August 11 at The Astor Theatre. 🧒 This is a family friendly event! All eight kids from the film will be joining Damon at the premiere for a very special afternoon, including a performance and Q&A. 🎞 About the film:  Director Damon Gameau takes eight kids on the ultimate school excursion: a road trip across Europe to seek solutions to the climate crisis. They travel in a biofueled “Bumble Bus”, and along the way, meet with some of the world’s largest companies to ask the big, hard hitting questions. This inspiring and rollicking journey, where ‘School of Rock’ meets ‘An Inconvenient Truth, results in the children forming a ‘Future Council’ to advise and influence the world's most powerful companies on their decisions that impact nature. We hope to see you there! 🎟 Book your tickets now by visiting >> https://lnkd.in/gc89y8XC More about the film here: https://lnkd.in/gYvfkJAz #FutureCouncil #Regenerators #Regeneration
