A win at the Australian Local Government Association general assembly!

A majority of councils voted to support a Climate Compensation Fund that would make big polluters pay their fair share!

Now we need to push for this motion to become policy!

☆New Workshop☆

We're excited to bring you a new creative workshop!

Artist and collective member Harriet guided our first creative art walk with students at the Carlton Neighbourhood Learning Centre (CNLC) last week.

Paying attention to place and noticing adaptive capacities is part of the journey!

Our Act on Climate Collective is excited to be offering these walks more regularly. Reach out if you're interested.

A huge thank you to the CNLC and their students and teachers for their trust and enthusiasm.

A key question coming out of this summer's fires is: who should pay for the damage?

Climate change is making fire seasons longer and more intense. We believe that ratepayers shouldn't be expected to pay for the damage caused by coal, gas, and oil companies. A federal disaster levy on fossil fuel companies would force them to contribute to the problems they are causing.

Friends of the Earth Melbourne has created a survey to test community support for such a levy instead of the current Emergency Services Levy, which in its current form is an unfair burden on rural and especially farming communities.

We would really appreciate getting your thoughts on who should pay for the rising costs of wild fire. Fill out the short survey at the link in the comments.

And please share it with friends and family who were impacted to help us understand community sentiment towards who should pay for the economic costs of more frequent bushfires.
