Run for a Safe Climate is a unique and powerful project aimed at protecting life, property and the great natural icons of our country from a slide towards catastrophic global warming. The run is being performed by active and serving members of Australia’s emergency services– firefighters, paramedics, police, military and emergency services workers – many of whom were directly exposed to recent climate-driven disasters in Australia such as the 2009 Victorian bush fires.
Our running group feels very strongly that global warming presents an unprecedented threat to our food bowls, cities, water, health, security and great natural icons, and has become motivated to run 6000 kilometres across Australia to raise money for an essential scenario and risk-management planning exercise for Australia — the Safe Climate Australia Transition Plan. A team of 25 trained runners from the various emergency services will run in a relay over 6000 kilometres to link Australia’s unique, world-renowned natural icons, most of which will be devastated if atmospheric greenhouse gas levels are not brought back to a safe climate threshold. We will also visit some of the great climate solutions that are the key to a low-carbon and clean-energy future – solar thermal and wind plants, geothermal and clean marine-derived energy sources and research facilities.

Film fundraiser to see “In Bruges” – 10 or 11 September
Posted in Events by Ferne Edwards on September 2nd, 2008
The film “In Bruges” will be shown on Wednesday 10th or Thursday 11th of Sep at Cinema Nova for a fundraiser for the not-for-profit environmental organisation, Centre for Sustainability Leadership. They support people to be leaders in their workplaces and communities in sustainability. (I am a graduate of this program and it deserves strong support – it’s very professional and supports people to support the environment by teaching them some very useful skills. – Ferne)
Tickets must be bought online before the event. You can do this by clicking here. They will not be available for purchase on the night.
The Movie
IN BRUGES was filmed on location; Bruges, the most well-preserved medieval city in the whole of Belgium, is a welcoming destination for travelers from all over the world. But for hit men Ray (Colin Farrell) and Ken (Brendan Gleeson), it could be their final destination; a difficult job has resulted in the pair being ordered right before Christmas by their London boss Harry (two-time Academy Award nominee Ralph Fiennes) to go and cool their heels in the storybook Flemish city for a couple of weeks.
