E-petition

This year the ACT Government will decide on a target for CO2 emission reduction for 2020. They are considering cuts between 25% and 40%.

This petition of residents of the ACT calls on the ACT Legislative Assembly to adopt the recommendation of its own standing committee of a target of 40% CO2 emission reduction for 2020.

Despite the recommendations of the Legislative Assembly's own standing committee for a 40% reduction, without a groundswell of popular support for a target of 40% cuts the government is likely to take the easy option and commit to a smaller target. With our children's climate at stake, anything less than a 40% cut is insufficient.

the worse we are at reducing our emissions the harder it will be to convince India and China to do the same. That's where we count.

Local actions like these will demonstrate community commitment to governments who should be leading the way.

Canberra has been progressive in respect of other initiatives such as civil unions and it should be the same with taking the lead on climate change.

This is a great opportunity for the ACT to lead the rest of Australia. Follow your own committee's recommendation and go 40%!

40% is affordable, achievable and DESIRABLE. It's high time the ACT stopped pretending to lead the nation and assert ourselves at the forefront. We should be thinking nothing less than 40%.

A 40% reduction across the ACT shouldn't be that hard if our pollies just get on with the job!

ren webb, 2601
Melbourne is going for carbon neutral by 2020 - ACT can do 40 % minimum, and actually save money by doing this through reduced energy costs!

Governments are reactive, not proactive. We as a community must throw our considerable weight behind this initiative else it will not come into being.

We've got to start somewhere and get the message across that any action whether local or global is better than inaction. We have to make a start and by setting an example we can encourage others to follow

if Canberra can't make a commitment like this then who can?

felix blumer, 2601
dingers!

Steve Refshauge, 2602
The majority of the 40% could be met at a negative cost - ie, consumers, businesses and the Government will save money while reducing emissions AND leading the nation. It's a no-brainer!

I don't see why a 40% reduction in CO2 emmissions in 10 years is not achieveable. With three small children of my own this is a subject very close to my heart.

Bess Harrison, 2622
All of you in the Legislative Assembly owe it to all of us and yourselves not to sell out on this issue. Please be strong and show leadership. You have the backing and support of a lot of people.
