The Power of One - Make our message even more powerful and join us in Canberra on Sunday 8 October, 2006

---------------------------------------------

Can one man make a difference? Ever thought that someone should do something about climate change?

Well, Dr Matthew Nott, an orthopaedic surgeon from the NSW South Coast (with about 10,000 of his closest friends) plans to do just that in Canberra next week.

After deciding that he could be that someone, Matthew has set about drawing attention to climate change and putting the pressure on governments to do something about it.

He’s already organised 3,000 forming the words “clean energy” on the beach at Tathra (population 1,200), and he’s swum 6km across the nearly frozen Lake Jindabyne, all to get people thinking, talking and acting on the issue.

His latest venture will see 10,000 people forming a giant human sign on the lawns in front of Old Parliament House, to focus attention on Australia’s woeful efforts to combat climate change.

Dr. Nott said: “Australians are the biggest polluters in the world per head of population, and our governments are doing nowhere near enough to change that situation.”

“I don’t care about political parties or interest groups. What I care about, and what ordinary Australians want, is real action to reduce greenhouse gas production, and that means real encouragement for clean energy technology.”

So on Sunday October 8, people power will come to Canberra to demonstrate the strength of feeling on this issue.

For more information, contact Matthew Nott.
