Eastside Climate Action is about...
- Inspiring, educating and empowering people to start making changes in their own lives.
- Demonstrating practical alternatives, local projects and local campaigns in action.
- Changing our lifestyles, but also inspiring collective action to create the wider social change that is needed to deal with climate change.
NOW is the time for EVERYBODY to act!
- Climate change is the greatest threat humanity has ever faced, and we are already feeling its effects.
- Change is coming whether we like it or not. We need to make these changes sustainable and equitable.
We cannot wait for governments and big business to solve this for us.
- A sustainable future is incompatible with endless economic growth.
- A sustainable future requires massive cuts in carbon emissions.
- Solutions to climate change must come from people and communities, not corporations or governments, which are part of a system that puts economic growth first.
- New technologies and market-based mechanisms aren't sufficient to address the scale and causes of the problem. The only response to climate change is major social change.
