I know this isn't school related, but here are some campaigns you might be interested in taking part in. We can be environmentally active both in and out of school :)
Join the global TWITTERSTORM to #FIGHTFORTHEREEF – June 17
The World Heritage Committee is meeting in Cambodia from 16-25 June and will make some big decisions about the future of the Great Barrier Reef.
Join our 24-hour Global Twitter Storm on 17 June and show Australia’s political leaders and the World Heritage Committee that you want the Great Barrier Reef protected!
The Reef belongs to all of us. We need you to tweet your concern about the impact mega ports and shipping superhighways will have on the Great Barrier Reef. This is the perfect opportunity to get the attention of decision-makers at the highest level – let’s make it count.

Within weeks, our government could allow shipping port developers to start tearing enormous holes in the seabed inside the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area - a practice known as dredging. Some 3 million cubic metres of sediment (enough to fill 1,200 Olympic-sized swimming pools!) would be ripped from the ocean bed, destroying the homes and food sources of turtles, dugongs and rare snubfin dolphins. Environment Minister Tony Burke has the power to stop this. So we’ve launched an emergency petition to demonstrate massive community opposition to this dreadful plan. Sign on today and we’ll hand deliver the petition to Burke in front of journalists during the UN World Heritage Committee meeting in June.If we act now we can make sure mining companies don’t get away with it.
