Emergency Service: Melbourne Metropolitan Fire Brigade
Why are you participating in the 6000-kilometre Run for a Safe Climate? Global climate change is undoubtably the predominant concern for our wellbeing in the coming century. Some changes I’ve seen for myself; in Nepal, Alaska and here in Australia. It’s alarming and the solutions are daunting. As emergency service workers we have a unique relationship with our communities, in which we are charged with responding to catastrophy. In this case though, I’d like to be part of the process of prevention. The Run for a Safe Climate adds legitimate and credible voices to this issue.
What do you hope to achieve through the run? Personally, I’d be happy if my effort was able to change just one persons mind – provided that person was Senator Steve Fielding.
