Write your message now and say yes to renewable energy before 4 February.
Communities in the Illawarra and Hunter are gathering in their streets to say yes to renewable energy in their community on Sunday 4 February.
While they turn out on the streets, we'll post the messages we receive (from people across the country) on social media.
Together, we'll help show that people and communities from all over Australia say yes to renewable energy now.
The best way to stop the climate impacts from burning coal and gas is urgently building projects in all our communities that ramp up our renewable energy supply.
It's a big task. Renewable energy can only succeed in kicking out fossil fuels if we loudly and urgently welcome it into the Illawarra, Hunter and all our communities.
It's time to say a resounding yes to wind and solar solutions to protect wildlife, oceans, forests and people.
What can you include in your message?
The first thing to include is your support for renewable energy, here are some examples to inspire you:
I'm a big fan of renewable energy
I want renewable energy in my community
I say yes to renewable energy now
It's also good to elevate the benefits of renewable energy, again here are some examples for you to draw upon:
Creating more renewable energy is Australia's best way to stop burning fossil fuels like coal and gas that are fuelling extreme floods, heat waves and fires in our communities
Climate damage, fuelled by burning fossil fuels like coal and gas, is here now and it's burning and washing away threatened species' habitat. Our best solution is urgently building solar and wind farms in our communities to power our lives with renewable energy.
Urgently ramping up renewable energy is critical to protecting the communities, nature and people we love from climate devastation.
