A thing to change:
Have you ever walked into your favourite cafe or pub and thought to yourself: “Self, the only way this place could be more awesome is if it was powered by 100% renewable energy?” Sign up to hold an event to fundraise for this to happen. The Australian Youth Climate Coalition is seeking to hold 100 of these events before July.
