Today we look at the rise and rise of the community climate action group. These groups have sprung up across the country and work towards making their community more climate friendly.
We talk to one mum, Coni Forcey who co-founded the Bayside Climate Action group and we find out what inspires people to start or join a group like this and what they achieve as part of these groups.
As you may be aware there was a big meeting of community climate action groups in Canberra last weekend at a Climate Action Summit. This was 3 days of workshops and information sessions designed to make the community sector more effective, while forming a grass-roots network, and to create a national strategy to help influence the Rudd government to be more active on climate. This was followed by a day of peaceful protests at Parliament house. Later on in the show we will talk to someone who attended the summit and find out what worked and what the vibe was like.
