Maribyrnong in Focus: Climate Change

 

- Maribyrnong City Council has made a commitment to become carbon neutral as an organisation by 2015.

 

- Australians are amoung the worst polluters on the planet- the third highest energy users per capita in the western world. With only 0.32% of the world population, Australia contributes 2.3% of the world's carbon emissions from fossil fuels (Human Development Report 2007/2008).

 

This is just one of the things the Maribyrnong City Council is doing to become a Carbon Neutral Organisation. I received this flyer in the mail and was very proud to be living in a municipality that is proactive and jumping on the Climate Change new world!

 

The Maribyrnong City Council is pleased to launch Maribyrnong in Focus - designed to keep you up to date about important topics and issues relevant to the whole community. Our first edition focuses on Climate Change. It's a term we hear often, but in this publication we will look at what it actually means, how it impacts out lives and what we can do about it.
