Take Action Now!

On 2 December 2009. the Greens had an historic opportunity to vote with the Rudd Labor Government to pass the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS).  The CPRS would have reduced our nation's emissions for the first time in history.

This scheme is designed to limit Australia's carbon emissions by making polluters pay for the pollution they produce and rewarding those who reduce their carbon pollution.

This is an issue that affects all Australians.  Failure to take action on climate change today will make future change so much harder.  That's why I am asking you to sign a petition to show your support for action against climate change - by requesting all political parties to support the CPRS next time its re-introduced into the federal parliament in February 2010.

The Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS) does not need the support of the Liberal Party; it just needs the 5 Green Senators to support it.  Show them you support the CPRS by simply completing this petition.

PS - The Brumby Government supports the Rudd Federal Government's CPRS laws as Climate Change is already impacting on many Victorian's lives.  Action is needed now.
