Climate Emergency Economic Transition structure
Philip Sutton writes about what will the emergency transition to a safe climate look like from an economic perspective in our blog.
by Philip Sutton Candidate for Batman and Manager, RSTI http://www.green-innovations.asn.au/
"A fast climate-driven economic transition will probably have five key phases:
- building full strength commitment (could be an unknown number of years - probably more than 3 and less than 15)
- planning the transition (1 to 3 years) - this period can be shortened, possibly to one year, if a lot of the needed detailed technical planning is done during the period of commitment uncertainty.
- switching and scaling (3 years max) - further investment in the fossil fuel economy is banned and new production capacity is created by switching current capacity where this is technically feasible and by building new suitable production capacity (only) where this is really needed...." read more

shirts re-order underway!
Save the Planet sold most of its stock of t-shirts at the recent national day of action on climate change. We are in the process of placing a new order to restock our shirts.
We have brought our t-shirts from Etiko, an ethical manufacturer and importer of fairtrade clothing and sporting goods. See http://www.fairtradeshop.com.au/.
People interested in getting a Save the Planet, 100% organic, fairtrade T-shirt please email voteplanet@gmail.com with the subject "T-Shirt order" specifying size and number. New T-shirts will be available at just above cost at $30.00 which includes postage or $25 for pick up from our office, an event or stall.
Three t-shirt styles: Unisex loose fit, Slim-fit Female, and Kids. Colour is white on blue for adults and white on green for kids.
We have found the unisex sizes to be consistently large by one size so if you normally wear a male XL the L should be the best option. We have found the females sizes to be consistently small of if you normally wear a female S the M should work for you. Please go to Etiko's sizing page to choose appropriate size. http://www.fairtradeshop.com.au/sizing/

why a new party?
Yes, the Greens are way ahead of the Liberals, National Party and the ALP. But even the Greens don’t argue for the uncompromising full-strength emergency mobilisation polices needed to urgently restore a safe climate and sustainability. The Greens have positioned themselves to the left of the ALP and they have taken on a raft of non-environmental issues that inevitably dilute their environmental focus.
The Save the Planet Party will not be distracted by issues unrelated to the emergency speed building of a safe-climate-restoring economy. And we will work with other political parties across the political spectrum to get this outcome.
The purpose of the Save the Planet Party is to campaign so effectively on our core goals that we make it a political necessity for all other major parties, including the Greens, to lift their environmental policies and performance to match our position. It will then be possible to build a safe-climate-restoring economy in Australia at emergency speed.
