What YOU can do …
- Attend all further student actions if you can. There will certainly be more.
- Go to any rally or demonstration you can possibly attend to maintain a visible presence for climate action in the community
- Sign the petition Scott Morrison: Declare a Climate Emergency
- Forward the petition to your friends
- Watch the TV program Climate Change – The Facts presented by Sir David Attenborough
- Tell Josh Frydenberg to end the national tax-based subsidies of $12 billion annually that encourage fossil fuel production and consumption https://www.marketforces.org.au/campaigns/ffs/tax-based-subsidies/
- Start talking about the implications of climate change to your friends and family, and keep talking. Introduce the subject in every conversation.
- Tell your friends about this website and encourage them to take actions. Tell them when you do something.
- Let us know if you find or think of a good action so we can put it up on the webpage.
- Follow us on Facebook at Grandparents CAN and forward news of our actions to friends in other areas
- Read Greta Thunberg: No One Is To Small To Make A Difference ($6 from local bookstores)
- Think of ways by which you could reduce your own carbon footprint, and your water usage.
- If you can, sing in an Extinction Rebellion choir – it’s great fun! This is their song.
- If you’re an active grandparent, keep an open mind about the possibility of joining an Extinction Rebellion action. They’ll be starting soon all over the place, we hear. We know a distinguished university science professor who’s signed up, and some of us are standing ready too.
- Read the Extinction Rebellion handbook This Is Not a Drill to find out about their philosophy, and pass it on to a friend
- That’s all for now, but this is just the beginning!
