Greenhouse Reduction Network
The Australian Government's stance at the Earth Summit in New York, on the 22nd June, 1997, in refusing to join a programme of mandatory targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions sparked the following comment from the British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, " I am sorry, Australia is also part of the globe. It is also caught up in global warming". It also brought together this diverse group of environmental practitioners, researchers, environmental and renewable energy industries and associations in Australia.
The Greenhouse Reduction Network was formed on the 23rd June, 1997 and has been on line since the 24th June, 1997. It was established to provide information about the economic and environmental benefits to Australians of reducing greenhouse gas emissions----information which is not being disseminated by most media outlets and politicians.
Participants in this Network share the view that:
· Australian businesses, workers, local government, researchers and community organisations have the skills and the will to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; and
· more jobs can be created by following a sustainable energy pathway than by clinging to the old and declining smokestack industries.
Members of this Network will present these views to their fellow Australians and to the rest of the world, including our trading partners.
We invite environmentally concerned businesses and business/industry associations, research groups, environmental protection authorities, local governments, trade unions and community organisations to participate.
