We need a strong Buddhist voice for climate change! We encourage your group to participate on Sunday 17 and Monday 18 October for 2 days of global climate action organised by the Australian Religious Response to Climate Change.

2 ways on 2 days to make your voice heard on climate change (do 1, do both – up to you!)

1. On or before Sunday 17 October at your temple or a park nearby or via Zoom: hang a banner and hold a meditation session, ring a bell, have a sangha meeting to discuss climate change or take another action to show your concern for the planet.
2. On Monday October 18 join a rally outside the Prime Minister’s office in Cronulla. Registrations required: https://greenfaith.controlshift.app/events/faiths-4-climate-justice-at-the-pm-s-doorstep-2. Please adhere to Covid restrictions

What to do:

1. Decide what action you or your temple will arrange
2. Register details of your action at https://greenfaith.controlshift.app/home
3. Get a banner https://www.arrcc.org.au/banners by the end of September (ARRCC has funds for groups unable to afford a banner)
4. Attend social media training  Visit ARRCC for details
5. Take action!
6. Take photos/video of your action with the banner and post to social media tag @ScottMorrisonMP, @buddhistconnection and hashtag #Faiths4Climate.
7. Share your action with us at office@buddhistcouncil.org

Together we can send the message to government that we support action to protect our sacred earth.
