Action in the Community

Just a few things you can do around Darwin and the Territory:

• Get a couple of neighbours together and start up a Sustainability Street!

• find a good enviro DVD such as An Inconvenient Truth, The Age of Stupid or No Impact Man and give them to:
  • friends / family
  • schools / teachers
  • your local video store (and with the owner’s support, loan them out for free)

• ask your local bookshop to read, review and promote the books in our Readings section (under Get Informed), such as Climate Code Red by Spratt and Sutton

• read and share titles like these for your next bookclub:
  • Climate Code Red by David Spratt and Philip Sutton
  • Quarry Vision by Guy Pearse
  • Now or Never by Tim Flannery
  • Requiem for a Species by Clive Hamilton

• Meet with or write to your Local or Territory Member to talk climate - it's not as hard as you think, and they need our support to counter the pressure they get from big corporations!
