Australian Youth Climate coalition send-off - Wednesday 24th June
******************************************************
8AM State library. Michael Crowe, a volunteer for the Australian Youth Climate
coalition is currently organising an awareness raising bike ride from Melbourne
to Sydney planned for the 24th of June till the 11th of July. I would love to
have as many people as possible see us off from Melbourne on the morning of June
24th. If we could really claim the streets - critical mass style it would be
amazing and provide a great impetus for the ride. we will be getting a lot of
media coverage along the way and will be finishing in Sydney with a 2 day
climate change summit called PowerShift. this event will have around 3000
participants
