On April 1, 2008 young people from around the world are rising up to show the world that we refuse to fool around with climate change and our future. On April 1 we will take collective action to turn the tide away from fossil fuel dependence and towards a clean and just energy revolution. On this historic day of action we will tear down the dirty energy that stands in our way, while building the better world we need.
We Are Fed Up
We have had enough of fossil fuel tomfoolery - empty promises and lackluster leadership from our governments and dirty energy companies. We have had enough of coal companies that destroy communities, poison our air, and spew global warming pollution. We are sick of oil and car companies keeping us dangerously addicted to oil. And we will kick every politician out of office who refuses to show bold, political leadership in fighting climate change.
Join us in making April 1 a day the fossil fuel industry never forgets!
We Are Hopeful
Climate change is our generation’s biggest challenge, but also our biggest opportunity. We can make sure that as we move away from dangerous fossil fuels we are building not only a cleaner, but also a more just future. We will help ensure that the clean energy revolution leaves no one behind and creates hundreds of thousands of new, green jobs.
Join us in building a more just future. Plan an action to spur green job creation in your community today.
We Are Powerful
Together we can build a more just and sustainable future. We are calling on communities across Australia to show the fossil fuel industry and bad politicians that we mean business by organizing a Fossil Fools Day action today. Ideas include, but are by no means limited to: rallies at gas stations or representative offices, Critical Mass bike rides, office occupations, Billionaire’s for Coal demonstrations, spank the bank visits, high-powered projections of solutions on the side of dirty energy factories, University Senate meeting take-overs, hold a clean energy camp at a dirty energy site, do solar installations, make spoof videos and websites, offer alternative, clean energy bus rides, do some coal mining of your own at a coal company’s headquarters…
This April 1st join with people around the world to end the fossil fuel age and stand up for a new energy future.
