QUEENSLANDERS URGED TO WALK AGAINST WARMING

Environment Minister Lindy Nelson-Carr urged Queenslanders to put their best foot forward tomorrow and join the Walk Against Warming.

Ms Nelson-Carr said the walk was the perfect opportunity for everyone to think about the impacts of global warming and what they could do to help.

“This is about us acting together in a small way to help solve the big picture.

“By each of us doing something as small as having shorter showers, walking to work now and then, or turning off the TV at the power point, we can make a massive amount of difference,” Ms Nelson-Carr said.

For more information on what you can do around the home to help our planet, go to the ClimateSmart Living section of the Environmental Protection Agency’s website at www.epa.qld.gov.au

Walk Against Warming is being held in Brisbane, Cairns, Atherton and Townsville.
