GasLit: WA’s campaign against gas pollution: Join the movement to bring down WA’s gas pollution for a safe climate future!

Climate change is threatening our way of life in WA, yet our state’s emissions are continuing to rise because of increasing pollution from the gas industry. WA is in the grips of an emissions crisis, fuelled by pollution from the production of gas for export. Fossil fuel corporations are proposing new gas projects all over our beautiful state, from Woodside’s highly controversial Scarborough and Browse projects in the heart of the Pilbara, to multiple plans for fracking in the Kimberley wilderness. Stopping gas expansion in WA is the most effective way we can collectively address climate change in the place that we love and want to protect. Tackling WA’s emissions crisis is a huge opportunity for us to make a meaningful contribution to the global effort to tackle climate change, whilst building local community power.

Here’s how you can get involved:
1. Attend our free, online ‘Intro to WA Gas’ event on Wednesday 12 October to learn how you can take action
2. Join our wonderful team of volunteers!
