Make a submission on the Green Paper

administrator — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 02:14:23 -0400

The Australian Government is asking for public comment on its discussion paper (also known as a "Green Paper") on a Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme. It's important that lots of people write in demanding real action, because powerful industry groups like coal and aluminium will be pushing hard to continue business as usual.

We urge you to write a submission. To make it easier, we've drawn up this one-page guide. Submissions must also include this cover sheet.

Submissions are due September 10th. For more info on the process, and to read the discussion paper ("Green Paper") go to the government website.

The NSW Government is currently making plans to increase electricity supply in the state, due to growing demand. Although are there are sustainable ways to solve the problem, the government has indicated that the outcome will instead be new coal-fired power stations.

In NSW, approximately 90% ofelectricity is produced from the combustion of coal.
