Now that the CPRS shemozzle has passed it's time to Walk Against Warming
Saturday, 12 December @ 12pm
Parliament House, Canberra, can be a strange place at the best of times. I’ve probably spent about 2 months of my life in the building, meeting with politicians, advisors and bureaucrats, trying to achieve some progress on climate change- the issue that needs a little less conversation and a lot more action.
Okay so it's true
We're running on empty
We wracked our brains and squeezed our neurons into pulp. We even tried zen meditation and lying on the office floor. Do you think we could come up with a snappy, snazzy, interesting, we're-too-cool-for-our-own-environmentally-friendly-shoes, everyone-will-want-to-be-our-friend blog name?
Nope. Not a bit. The closest we came to was 'shut up and do something', which is kind of a weird name for a blog. (Although hey - irony).
Let's be honest...
It's going to cost money. Get used to it.
Part of what we do here at Environment Victoria is meet with politicians, their advisors and government bureaucrats.
It’s how we atone for our sins.
