Every day, 10 city block sized areas of Victoria’s forests are logged, mostly to make cheap products like Reflex paper. An area the size of 3,500 city blocks of the Kimberley’s stunning coastline is currently at risk of being converted into the largest oil and gas processing hub in the southern hemisphere. And, in a once in a life time opportunity, the equivalent to 108 000 000 city blocks of our marine territory is up for protection in 2012. Hundreds of people will join hands around one of Melbourne CBD’s 1 hectare city blocks on World Environment Day as a measure of the threat to our forests, oceans and wild places from logging and mining. Come and join hands with hundreds of others on the United Nations’ 12th World Environment Day and show your support for Australia’s world renowned natural environment. 1pm. Cnr Bourke & Elizabeth Sts, City.
