"These petitions send a clear message to Senator Wong that there must be no delay in action on climate change and this means a carbon price solution," said Julie Pettett CEO of Conservation SA.
"Despite Prime Minister Gillard's indication that there will not be a price on carbon until at least 2013, many South Australians implore Senator Wong to do all she can to ensure that a price on carbon is thoroughly discussed and debated in Cabinet.
"If there is a failure to determine a price on carbon in the short term, whilst a huge disappointment, there are other actions that can be taken, such as further boosts to the renewable energy sector," said Ms Pettett.
