It is a free, family orientated, community event.


If ever there was a buzz about a Brisbane environment event, it has to be the one surrounding the upcoming Green Earth Festival taking place on Saturday 13 March at the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens.


This wide-ranging festival is focused firmly on the family and includes everything you need for a day out such as stalls, food, speakers, live music and entertainment, kids’ zone, video zone, as well as short film, art and fashion competitions.


The Green Earth Festival is being organised by the fledging, not-for-profit environmental awareness group, Green Earth Group Inc. which began early last year when like-minded friends of singer/poet and author Leigh-Chantelle’s saw the need for a uniting of the environmental and animal rights groups.



Combining with these friends who have the passion are others who have the know-how: people who have been involved with large music festivals such as the Big Day Out. This combination, according to Green Earth Festival organiser and promoter Leigh-Chantelle, is what makes the magic happen!


“My goal is to encourage all people from all backgrounds in Queensland to be involved in a positive way to help our environment and to meet other like-minded individuals,” says Leigh-Chantelle.


The Green Earth Festival is a free, family orientated, community event which aims to stimulate awareness by bringing environmental, green, health and lifestyle, cruelty-free, recycling and sustainable issues into the public eye; and encouraging people to make simple changes in their everyday lives to help our environment and the world we leave for generations to come.


The festival will comprise live bands, performers and roving entertainment, food, demonstrations, speakers, children’s zone, video zone, art and fashion displays, plus stalls from many companies including local not for profit organizations.


Together with many other volunteers from across Brisbane and beyond, the Green Earth Festival team are united to form a strong grassroots, community event where everyone from all areas of the community are invited to join in with the passion, but most of all in having fun in the name of green earth education.

On the 20th of January, a Federal Community Cabinet meeting will be held in Adelaide. So I’m organising a Murray protest to be held outside, to let all the Federal ministers know what we think of their inaction on this national emergency.

An immediate Federal intervention can help save the Murray and get the floodwaters down to the Riverland and Lower Lakes.  Even if there is agreement to send some water down the Murray this will only be piecemeal - we need a permanent whole river solution instead of constant crisis management!

Let’s take our demands for immediate action right to the Prime Minister. All South Australians who care: turn up to the Community Cabinet meeting and send Rudd a rocket on the Murray.

[b]When[/b]: 20th January 2009 at 4:30pm (assemble at 4pm)


 




[b]Where[/b]: Norwood Morialta High School Oval, 505 The Parade Magill

Please pass this event on to your other networks, it is vital that we get enough people to get the attention of Rudd and Rann, and don't forget to bring signs stating what suburb or town you are from and if you like bring a bucket  - some of those interstate Ministers might have brought some water.

If you’re interested in being a part of this, or want to volunteer to help organise the protest, contact my office on 8237 9278 or through email [url=mailto:benjamin.howieson@parliament.sa.gov.au]benjamin.howieson@parliament.sa.gov.au[/url] This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
