Australia has spoken! 

On Sunday 11 November 2007 over 115,000 people marched at Walk Against Warming events in sixty locations across the country - an incredible show of community support for greater government action on climate change  and the largest day of action on climate change Australia has ever seen. Crowd numbers for the major walks were:
 
                Melbourne: 50,000   Sydney:  30,000  Canberra:  9,000   Perth:  7,000   Adelaide: 6,000   Brisbane: 4,000

Walk Against Warming confirmed that climate change was a key election issue for many Australian people.
 
However the fight for climate action does not stop at this election.
 
With continued community pressure we can ensure the new Labor Government puts into place immediate policies to start reducing our greenhouse pollution, securing a safer future for our planet and for our children.
 
Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who helped make Walk Against Warming the huge success that it was!

Walk against warming is a great way for this very important issue to get as much attention as it can. Global warming is something that affects us all no matter what race, colour or creed; rich or poor.

Canberra Raiders get behind Walk Against Warming

 
“The Raiders are keen to see that kids have the opportunity to play sport. Longer droughts, hotter summers and less rain are leading to soil compacting. Compacted soil means more impact injuries, which is bad for sport, and bad for our kids.”
"Our kids can't vote to make sure we leave them a world that is safe from dangerous climate change. They can Walk Against Warming to make sure that the next government of Australia doesn't ignore them when making important decisions about their future".
