In the face of climate change, communities are coming together to look after each other. People check in on elderly neighbours in extreme weather. They sew mittens for wildlife injured by fire. They cook dinner for the volunteer firefighters who hose flames all day. Our firefighters and nurses, farmers, cooks, and carers hold our communities together in challenging times.
People are also coming together to create solutions. Right across Australia, households are installing solar panels to capture the sun’s energy on their rooftops. Communities are taking to the streets to tell our elected representatives to cut pollution and shift Australia to clean energy, fast. Concerned citizens write letters to their Members of Parliament against coal-burning power stations and new mines. They replant and protect the trees and landscapes that clean our air and soak up pollution.
