Ecopella brought our message of Earthly Love to the Leura Garden Festival today on a beautiful Spring day. Representatives came from Sydney, Canberra and
Blue Mountains branches.
Good to hear that Woodside has had its seismic blasting permit thrown out. Congratulations and thanks to Raelene Cooper for taking them to court. They will try again, so please sign the petition to stop them.
Tell Woodside to walk away from its toxic gas project Fossil fuel giant Woodside want to drill for climate-wrecking gas in Western Australia's precious oceans. Together we can stop them. Sign the petition NOW!
Petition Plibersek re: protection of water
Tamboran's mega fracker could drill across hundreds of kilometres, use up to four times the amount of water than anything else in Australia, and release millions of tonnes of pollution.
โ Tell the Environment Minister to stop the mega fracker now! https://act.350.org/sign/tell-minister-plibersek-fast-track-water-protections_now/

Ecopella performed two big sets at Smiths Alternative in Canberra on Sunday. What a fabulous venue! No need for microphones in that cosy space yet we all fit comfortably on stage. It was wonderful to sing with our Canberra contingent for a receptive ACT audience. Three Canberrans, three Bundanoonians, four Sydneysiders and a Mount Kemblan made up the ensemble.

Dumping doubts: Releasing Fukushimaโs waste water There should be great scepticism about the Japanese govenment plan to dispose of 1.3 million radioactive tonnes of waste water from the failed Fukushima nuclear reactor into the Pacific. Binoy Kampmark reports.
Looking forward to our two-hour concert in Canberra!

Free the Woodside Nippers from fossil fuel sponsorship Fossil fuel company Woodside has struck a deal with Surf Lifesaving WA that allows the gas company to brand our kids. Stand with parents in WA asking Surf Lifesaving to and replace Woodside as the Nippers' sponsor.
Last night, Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek dismissed the climate impacts of three huge new coal mines on our Living Wonders as part of Environment Council of Central Queensland legal intervention.
In legal terms, she has decided the climate harms identified in thousands of pages of evidence are not relevant to her risk assessment of these proposed mines.
But itโs not over. Our client ECoCeQ is carefully considering all legal options including Federal Court challenges and injunctions, if required.
Our Environment Minister has a fundamental legal responsibility to properly consider all risks to our environment.
And the climate risks of new gas and coal are no different.
This decision is out of step with science and public sentiment, and the Minister needs to understand this.

Recycling your glass items can be a great way to help the environment, but it's important to know what can and can't be recycled.
โ
All glass bottles and jars can go in your yellow lid bin for recycling.
โ
Say yes to alcohol bottles, sauce and jam jars, juice bottles, oil, sauce, and vinegar bottles.
๐ซ Glassware such as wine glasses, drinking glasses, and glass bakeware goes in general waste.
๐ค When in doubt, check your local council's website for more details.
So let's all do our part and recycle right! ๐โป๏ธ
