Robert Patterson (pictured) dug deep into his own pocket to ensure the success of the September 9 "Stepping Up Together https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/stepping-up-together-tickets-680077669617" forum at the Melbourne Town Hall driven by two things - first, the inaction of our decision makers (politicians) and the ever-growing concern he has for his grandchildren. During our conversation, Robert mentioned climate action in Newcastle. This story will help people better understand what is happening at the New South Wales city - "Two climate activists cause havoc at ports in Newcastle and Melbourne in Blockade Australia's eighth demonstration this week". Robert, and supporters from Geelong, have created and put to work the Letition idea, which they believe can change the conversation if people from throughout Australia follow guidelines set out on the "Letition.org https://letition.org/" web page. The Geelong group is "A Different Approach Community Climate Action in Australia https://adacaust.com.au/ - (ADAC)". --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

Politicians were something of a rarity at the Saturday, September 9, "Stepping Up Together https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/stepping-up-together-tickets-680077669617" forum at the Melbourne Town Hall, but the one who did show and delivered a powerful message was Victorian Greens Senator, Janet Rice https://greens.org.au/vic/person/janet-rice (pictured). Senator Rice described as "obscene" the Labor Party's constant justification of its push to open new coal mines and sink new gas wells, or back the gas fracking process. About 70 people sat through and enjoyed the three-hour forum that attempted to pull together disparate environment groups in a bid to draw up a joint statement of intent and hopefully, both shift and advance the climate conversation. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message

"The Path to a Sustainable Civilisation" represents something of a culmination of a life's work for Dr Mark Diesendorf. In this episode, he talks about why he wrote the book, what it means to him and, hopefully, what it will mean to the broader society. He co-authored the book with science writer and broadcaster, Canberra's Rod Taylor. It's a beautiful, accessible book that should be read by as many people as possible, particularly those who stand in the way of creating what Mark and Rod see as a "sustainable civilisation". Those eager to hear more from Mark can do so in two ways. First, by attending the "Stepping up Together https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/stepping-up-together-tickets-680077669617" event at the Melbourne Town Hall and second, by listening to Mark on Geelong's "The Sustainable Hour https://climatesafety.info/climaterevolution5/". "The Path to a Sustainable Civilisation https://www.amazon.com.au/Path-Sustainable-Civilisation-Technological-Socioeconomic/dp/9819906628" can be secured from most bookstores, and I would urge you to find a copy read it and follow some of the advice. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/robert-mclean/message
