Walk Against Warming 2010 Tasmania

Well over 1000 people participated in the Walk Against Warming in Hobart and Launceston and marched under the slogan "Walk with the people, not the big polluters". In Tasmania it is clear that the greatest single contribution we can make in combating climate change is to protect our native forests and we are hopeful this can happen soon.

The Walks called on our political leaders to:

• Protect forests to secure carbon stores
• Make the polluters pay by putting a price on carbon
• Replace our most polluting power stations with clean energy
• Create new clean jobs and industries
• Guarantee to cut pollution over the next term of government
• Support poor and vulnerable countries to tackle the impacts of climate change
• Invest in sustainable development.
