Calling Australia's women!

Christine Milne was one of a number of high profile women asked to be ambassadors for the exciting new campaign to inspire 1 million women across Australia to reduce their personal emissions by 1 tonne each.

The campaign, on the web here, the brainchild of Natalie Isaacs and her Climate Coolers organisation, seeks to inspire a million women across Australia to take simple action to reduce their personal emissions by one tonne this year.

"There is nothing more important than preventing climate crisis and I am excited and uplifted by the thought of a million women coming together to work towards that end," Senator Milne said.

"With Australia's governments refusing to take leadership, it's time for the community to demand the kind of action that the science requires.

"Who better than Australia's women to stand up, demonstrate what can be done and lead the way to a happier, healthier and more prosperous Australia?"
