On this sunny day in Melbourne, Amy, Megan, Jake and I attended the Say Yes Australia rally at the State Library on behalf of the Melton Sustainable Living Group. The event was very well attended, and I hope that it sends a message to the decision makers in Canberra that we want action on climate change right now. I saw a story on the ABC News which mentioned that it was estimated that 40,000 concerned citizens attended throughout all the rallies Australia wide. Well done everyone!
Here are a few snaps of our day. Photos by Megan (click on them to enlarge).

We had a great few hours in the city, and I felt so inspired that I had to plant some salad greens seeds in my greenhouse. Weird I know, but what better way to act than to grow your own food! Power to the people.
To see what happened at the Sydeny event, visit Sarhn’s website “Greener Me“. Nice video Sarhn!
It looks like a great day. It is so fabulous to see so many people making a stand. Let’s hope that those up in their ivory towers take note.
Australia spoke today.
Thanks for the plug Gav. Love those turtles, they look very happy to be apart of the rally. 🙂
We had parallel days Gavin. I also went to the climate rally (in Sydney) and came home and planted seeds!
Went there with my kids. A good turnout wasn’t it!
