The fossil fuel industry plans to burn more than five times more carbon than the planet can safely handle. Most of us are accidentally investing in fossil fuels, through our banks and super funds. With our Government failing to protect us from dangerous climate change and fossil fuel expansion, it’s time to take matters into our own hands.
Come along to this training to learn how you can go fossil free and how you can help your community, workplace and friends to join you in building a people-powered movement to solve climate change by shifting their money.
