Fantastic. And it so much bigger. Greenpeace Forest and Bird plus the Environmental Defence Society all had tens of thousands of submissions through their websites. 80% of us are concerned about the climate, we did not vote for this, and we responded.
13,000 that’s fantastic. My household did one using some things from the Environmental Defence Society but also our own thoughts especially about the lack of Te Tiriti braces. Power to the people! And Toitu te Tiriti! Toitu te taiao!
Front page of the ODT 23.4.24 today reads as if the expansion of Goldmining in Otago is a done deal and celebrates the Fast Track Bill. Who is lining the editor's pocket?
Really saddened to hear about this Barbara! We've been thinking for a while that it would be good to have responses to these kind of things in the newspaper. We have a guide for writing letters to the editor as responses to these arguments here: https://climateclubnz.substack.com/p/how-to-write-a-letter-to-the-editor
The 13,000+ is just from Forest & Bird's quick submission template tool 😊
Yeah, counting all our community submissions the real number must be a lot higher. Excited to hear the full stats when they're published!
Fantastic that there was this level of engagement, congrats to all who organised behind it
