Petition Fossil fuel consumption

Issue:

This petition of residents in Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Assembly the need to take immediate action against the causes of climate change. Climate change is a rapidly growing problem all around the world. Cities such as Adelaide have already been experiencing the effects and are facing multiple natural disasters drive by climate change, including various and more common heatwaves, and dead marine life on their shore. The rise in temperatures all around the world is not just changing us and our environment directly, but it is also rapidly accelerating the increase of various illnesses around the world. There has been a surge in vector-borne diseases and EID outbreaks. To keep our world and mankind, we must take immediate action.

Action:

The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Assembly achieves a minimum 20% reduction in statewide fossil fuel consumption by promoting eco-friendly actions and replacing the use of fossil fuels for energy in housing and factories with sustainable energy sources such as windmills, solar power, water energy and various other sources.
