Walk Against Warming 2010: The Great Neighbourhood Walk
11am to 1pm, Victoria Square (Tarndarnyangga), Sunday 15 August, then coming to a street near you
Come and join in on Sunday 15 August for the fifth national Walk Against Warming, Australia's largest day of community action for the environment. This year we are really taking it to the streets, aiming to reach 100,000 homes in SA.
The federal election is nigh, and it's vital we send a loud, clear message from the Australian community calling for our incoming PM to 'walk with the people, not the big polluters'.
For those in Adelaide, we kick off with our annual rally at Vic Square where we will hear inspiring speakers, rock to the tunes of top local bands, browse the stalls and grab a bite to eat. At 11.30 we will create a mass visual message to send to our leaders, so be there and be counted.
The Great Neighbourhood Walk: Help us reach 100,000 homes
This year's Victoria Square rally serves as a launching pad for the Great Neighbourhood Walk. Instead of our usual walk through the city, we are asking you to hit the streets in your local area to help deliver notes to 100,000 of our neighbours across South Australia.
The notes introduce you as a neighbour who is concerned about the environment and ask the householder to join a petition calling for our new PM to ‘walk with the people, not the big polluters'. Take a sneak peak here. Together we will be mobilising the South Australian community like never before. It is exciting stuff.
We challenge you to pledge the number of homes you will letterbox in your local area. If 1000 people pledge to deliver to 100 households each then we're done!
Pick up the notes to your neighbours on the day at Victoria Square.
