Federal Election 2016 ACF


This ACF campaign around the 2016 Federal Election called on the government to commit to a national plan for a clean energy transformation – "let’s replace polluting coal with clean energy, and use energy wisely. We need strong new laws that properly protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the places we love."
Commit to a national plan for a clean energy transformation

About

Our new government will make a choice that will define our future for generations. Will they listen to the big polluters who are destroying our reefs? Or will they choose clean energy, and world where our reefs and our grandchildren can thrive?

Our new government has a choice
A pollution and extinction crisis threatens the web of life. Our new government will make choices that will define our future for generations. Will they listen to the big polluters who are destroying our reefs? Or will they choose clean energy and a world where our grandchildren can thrive? ACF calls on our new government to commit to a national plan for a clean energy transformation – let’s replace polluting coal with clean energy, and use energy wisely. We need strong new laws that properly protect the air we breathe, the water we drink and the places we love. You put our air, water and wildlife on the agenda this election. During the election, we grew community power that will go the distance. Incredible ACF volunteers across the country had thousands of conversations with the community on the phone, at doorsteps, at market stalls and on the street. We delivered 56,860 of your pledges to election candidates so they know you want leaders who cut pollution, support clean energy and protect nature. We rated the environmental policies of all political parties on an independent scorecard and shared it with over 1.9 million people. And in the time between our first and last scorecard, the parties we rated announced 60 new policy commitments for the environment that improved their scores.
