Paris’s cycling revolution shows no sign of slowing, as each new network piece appears, so do new cyclists—now outnumbering cars by 50%.

From the early 1990s to present day, driving within city limits has fallen 45%, while public transport use has risen 30% and cycle use 1,000%.

Fun fact!

In 2020-21 (most recent available ATO data), Australia's nurses paid more than three times more tax than the gas industry. #auspol

Climate’s kind of a big deal when you live in a place like the Top End.

Traditional Owners have travelled 5000km to Parliament House to unveil a simply extraordinary 13 metre long map of the songlines and cultural places that make up the Roper River in the NT, under threat from fracking, cotton and mining.

It’s time for those in power to listen.

Australia Institute 67% support our call for a heath trigger AND 80% are concerned about the impacts on human health from pollution caused by fossil fuels AND 63% agree doctors should advocate for climate change policies that protect human health. Mark Butler MP Chris Bowen Tanya Plibersek

Thrilled to publish this case study on Royal Darwin Hospital’s Campus Greening Project that shows the link between climate adaptation and mitigation to wellbeing in healthcare. Thanks

The Government’s ‘Sea Dumping’ Bill stinks.

It can be used to facilitate the expansion of the fossil fuel industry.

Govt & Coalition both supporting it in the Senate.

Full ramble in committee of the whole here: youtu.be/0RcTreBo29U

An 18 year old Indigenous boy in Australia is more likely to end up in prison than university.

Imagine that this was the case for all Australian kids.

Please don't stand in the way of the next generation of indigenous kids having a say.
