Why you should consider joining a Climate Action Group (CAG) e.g. Yarra Valley CAG

Professor James Hansen (top US climate scientist, Head, NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies): “We face a climate emergency.”

Professor Peter Doherty (Australian Nobel Laureate): “We are in real danger.”

Professor David de Kretser AC (Governor of Victoria): “There is no doubt in my mind that this is the greatest problem confronting mankind at this time and that it has reached the level of a state of emergency.”

Intergenerational equity means we must preserve our Planet for our children and grandchildren.
