The group 350 Eurobodalla, the Southcoast Health and Sustainability Alliance (SHASA), Sustainable Agriculture and Gardening Eurobodalla (SAGE), Eurobodalla Doctors for the Environment Australia and the Eurobodalla chapter of Australian Parents for Climate Action will be there.

The school strikes have grown into a world-wide strike for everyone. There are more than 2500 worldwide and more than 100 in Australia.Thirty Australian unions support this action. The strike is happening three days before world leaders meet in New York for the UN Climate Emergency summit. We plan to make the day a big success.

By leaving school, work or home and joining together on a global scale, we will set the tone for the summit. We will show we want strong action and that governments at every level must step up.

Our demands are:

We must dramatically reduce carbon emissions to save our planet from ever-increasing climate chaos. We are experiencing extreme weather events from global warming. It is reckless folly to start new fossil fuel projects. We have the technology to get to 100 per cent renewable energy and we will save on energy costs. Our new economy needs planning and funding from governments so no-one is left behind. The change to a low-carbon future will revitalise the struggling economy.

After the disappointment of Eurobodalla Council failing to declare a climate emergency the strike is the next date for climate action.

A group of Eurobodalla parents is calling on adults to attend the Global Climate Strike to call for a safe future for their children.

Kathryn McCarthy and Michelle Mitchell invite all parents worried about their children's future in the face of climate change, to join them (see above).

The mothers have formed the Eurobodalla chapter of Australian Parents for Climate Action.

"Teenage school students started these strikes last year as they fear for their own safety in the face of rapidly escalating climate change," Michelle Mitchell, mother of three, said.

"We have children who are too young to understand the climate crisis, so we need to stand up for a safe future on their behalf. Joining the climate strike is one way we can do this."

Kathryn McCarthy, mother of two girls, four and six years old said: "Many Australian parents are deeply worried about the future their children face due to global warming but until we speak up and tell politicians we want emergency action, this issue will continue to be pushed under the carpet. We call on adults across the Eurobodalla region to stop work and join the strike. It cannot be left to teenagers to demand action on climate. We all need to step up, now."

A group of concerned mothers formed Australian Parents for Climate Action in January 2019. Nationally, the group has more than 3000 members and supporters who are parents, guardians or grandparents.

Key organisers are in Ocean Grove, Melbourne, Brisbane, Gold Coast, South West Queensland, Cairns, Canberra, Sydney, Darwin, Fremantle and Hobart. Members come from all states, all capital cities and many regional towns.

The Batemans Bay Community Centre came about because of the efforts of residents in the 1990s. It was provided with public funds. It was known, with an ageing population, that modern facilities and refrigeration were needed. The centre was built to provide a range of community necessities, which it still does.

It was paying its way until Eurobodalla Shire Council took it over. Volunteers ran it after it was built, but now we have a council hell bent on selling public assets. They need to supply very good reasons why a sale or lease is necessary.

Corrigans would need a lot of cleaning up.

The sand is dirty, with dog poo everywhere. It sounds like a good idea; maybe a walkway would be great, with seats so people could sit and rest a while. Gardens would also look lovely, with natives to attract the birds. It would provide shade as well.

My little dog loves going for walks, we decided to go to Corrigans. I have arthritis in my feet and can't walk too far. We were walking near the end of the car park and there was so much dog poo, it was disgusting. I know dogs (are) allowed, (but) we carry bags to pick up our dog's mess. Why don't other people? I haven't been back there since. It's very rare to see people carrying bags when they walk their dogs. Some of the people have huge dogs and don't clean up. Something needs to be done to keep our beaches and grass areas clean. We don't want to be stepping over dog poo with our own dogs.

Please put bags and a notice at all beaches and reserves.
