Act Now
I understand that climate change is a serious environmental issue and the most fundamental economic issue we face today. I know that deep cuts in emissions are requred to help avoid temperatures rising above two Degrees. Keeping temperature rises below two Degrees is vital to help stop damaging climate change. For this cause I am committed to reducing carbon emissions. As well as being Climakind I make efforts to reduce my personably controllable carbon emissions.
- I walk where possible (fortunately the office is only a ten minute walk from home)
- I have subscribed to 100% green energy
(It seems an obvious way to reduce household controllable emissions)
- I turn off lights when they are not required
- I take shorter showers
- I wash dishes in cold water (it's not bad at all and is just as effective)
Support Emissions Reduction
I support a well designed framework to reduce carbon emissions and join Climakind to help influence governments around the world to implement a successful scheme. I stand for emissions reduction that is:
- Proactive
- High Quality
- Immediate
- Secure
Together I know that we can make a difference. I have told all my friends about my efforts to reduce carbon emissions!
It's time to change the way we think!

I believe that climate change is THE most serious issue that humanity has ever faced.
The global temperature increase caused by our combined historical emissions is already approaching 1°C. We're already committed to a further global temperature increase; but by acting now it may be possible to keep the rise below 2°C. This is vital if we are to reduce the risk of catastrophic damage to the Earth's ecosystems. Deep cuts in emissions are urgently required: we must act NOW.
Tomorrow isn't just another day; it may be a day too late.
As well as being 'Climakind' I make efforts to reduce my own carbon emissions -- for instance, I have vowed never again to fly on a commercial airliner; I'll take the train and/or boat instead. I'm not asking you to do that; but I do ask you to consider what you might be able to do to help us all.
Please join me. Together we can make a difference.
I hope.

Everyone wants to do the right thing, especially when it comes to looking after the planet. Joining Climakind provides a way for everyone to make a positive impact by supporting a price on carbon and reducing carbon emissions. A way that helps speed up the transition to a low-carbon future; a better future for all our children.
I know that it is important to reduce our carbon footprint, but it is not enough. To really help stop the severe consequences of climate change mankind needs to make deep cuts in the amount of carbon dioxide we pump into the atmosphere.
The world is already at breaking point.
The changing climate is everyone’s problem. We cannot wait for someone else to fix it. Governments are locked in a battle of scare mongering and stalling. Politics got in the way of an Australian framework to reduce emissions leaving little incentive for business to change their ways.
It is tragic to think that we know the risks of using fossil fuels but we move slowly to change our ways. A lot of people complain that it is a problem, but they are unsure what to do. What is the best way to reduce carbon emissions? Climakind provides a solution. Hearing Paul Gilding refer to cancelling carbon emission credits as the ‘most pure’ way to reduce emissions gives arms length credibility to the Climakind initiative.
Through initiatives such as Climakind we can have a real impact in the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by industry. By buying and cancelling carbon emission credits we are stealing away the rights of industry to emit carbon dioxide. The less carbon dioxide that industry are allowed to emit the faster they will have to find low-carbon alternatives. The quicker we shift to a low-carbon future.
Do more than a little bit to help stop damaging climate change. Be Climakind.
