Switch OFF the CPRS - Switch ON renewables!

Picket Stephen Smith's office

8.30am, Fri 27 March

953A Beaufort Street, Inglewood.

Join the national day of action to let the ALP know the CPRS is not acceptable!

With a weak emissions reduction target, free permits for the biggest polluters, compensation to the big polluters if the emissions cap changes, scope for polluters to "offset" their pollution overseas and numerous other problems, the CPRS should be scrapped.

On March 27, climate activists around the country will be protesting the government's wholly inadequate emissions trading scheme. Join us outside the foreign minister's office to tell the government to come up with a plan to effectively reduce Australia's greenhouse pollution and do our share to restore a safe climate.

Bring banners, placards, noise-makers, props and lots of determination to make your point peacefully and effectively!

Organised by the Coalition for a Safe Climate. Ph 0417 319 662, 9339 0803. Visit www.safeclimate.org.au

[NB: The CPRS stands for Rudd's "Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme" but as Greenpeace has pointed out, it should more accurately be described as a "Pollution Scheme"!]
