Sapoty Brook, Mullumbimby

While we stare at coal, we are quietly surrounded by oil and gas. The uneconomic myth of ‘clean coal’ is now joined by fairies swallowing stories of ‘blue hydrogen’ cracked out of fossil gas.

With such stories the fossil cash cow continues to be milked by evil criminal investors uncaring or ignorant about our children’s future, as they weave fairytales to keep their game of deception rolling towards the climate cliff of oblivion.

So on Saturday 8 June 10am till 4pm the rebellious angels of life, rising to confront the evil fossil funders, invite your readers and their children into a visionary electric universe of cars and bikes at the Cavanbah Centre.
