BEYOND ZERO EMISSIONS
SIS was proudly involved in the 2009 fundraiser Run for a Safe Climate. www.runforasafeclimate.org
Are a remarkable group of volunteers working with the aim to facilitate the implementation of the social changes and technologies that will reduce the impacts of climate change- and give our society and global ecosystems a chance of surviving into the future.
Their Zero Carbon 2020 Plan is an ambitious and immaculately researched document showing how we can practically transition to renewable energy in 10 years. This poster gives a graphic illustration of the idea.
Safe Climate Australia is an apolitical science and research based organisation of community, business, environmental and scientific leaders, working to develop a comprehensive solutions framework for Australia to address the threat of global warming.

THE HUMAN SIGN
St Kilda Beach, May 17 2009.
SIS joined LIVE.org and Bayside Climate Change Action Group and thousands of other concerned citizens to make the biggest human sign ever seen in Australia. It was seen on the news and in the press and without doubt, will be for years to come. Share with us the special video we made to commemorate the day.
SIS documented it in 2009, marking the start of a concerted campaign to replace Hazelwood. Share the video here:
SIS supports the actions of Environment Victoria.
This year climate groups all over Victoria are supporting EV’s campaign to Replace Hazelwood, the most polluting coal fired power station in the world, here in our back yard. Fast-tracking Victoria’s clean energy future is a recent report outlining the options and opportunities for replacing Hazelwood Power Station with Clean Energy by 2012.
The Walk Against Warming is Environment Victoria’s key annual public event and Australia’s largest day of community action on climate change. In 2007 a record 50,000 Melbourne people participated.
