Right now, we are on the verge of a historic opportunity to Replace Hazelwood, Australia’s dirtiest power station, with clean energy. Environment Victoria supporters have been campaigning to Replace Hazelwood for many years, and finally the chance is within our reach.

But now, the negotiations to close Hazelwood are under threat. We’ve teamed up with Change.org to get this critical campaign over the line in its final weeks. Will you take urgent action now?

Hazelwood is Australia’s dirtiest power station. It’s responsible for almost 15 percent of Victoria’s and 3 percent of Australia’s greenhouse pollution all on its own.

The Federal Government is currently in negotiations with the owners of Hazelwood and other polluting power stations to close down three of these big polluters. The negotiation deadline is 30 June – just over five weeks away. But recent media reports suggest that the government might walk away from the negotiation table – leaving Hazelwood and other power stations polluting for decades to come.

Unless the government receives pressure from people across the country this crucial moment to Replace Hazelwood, cut pollution, and bring online clean renewable energy could be lost.

We know that Australians want to cut pollution and we need to show that people from across Australia want to Replace Hazelwood. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Change.org, one of the fastest growing campaign organisations in the world. Together with Change, and one of our passionate supporters, Anna Cutler, we’re building a massive petition to tell our government to close the deal on Hazelwood.

Please sign the petition on the Change.org website, and be a part of replacing Hazelwood once and for all.

We simply can’t give up when we’re so close to one of the most significant actions on climate change this country has ever seen. You’ve brought the campaign this far. Now, we’re asking you to help us get it over the line

Thank you, for all that you’ve done thus far.
