Our kids deserve clean air, safe homes, and a better tomorrow. But new coal and gas projects threaten their future.
Right now, fossil fuel expansion is putting Australian families at risk - polluting the air our children breathe, driving up energy costs, and making extreme weather events worse.
We can choose a different future. One where families have healthy, affordable energy and a safe climate to grow up in.
It starts with raising our voices and showing up for what matters. Every voice strengthens the call for real action.

To Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Chris Bowen MP - Minister for Climate and Energy, and Murray Watt - Minister for the Environment,
I am deeply concerned about the continued expansion of coal and gas projects in Australia. New fossil fuel projects threaten our children's future - polluting the air they breathe, contributing to rising household costs, and accelerating the climate crisis.
I call on you to commit to:
🚫 No new coal and gas projects in Australia
🌱 Investment in clean, affordable energy that benefits all families
🏡 A safe climate for all kids to thrive
Our kids deserve better. Later is too late. Act now.
As parents committed to a safe climate for our children, we strive to make responsible choices. However, companies like EnergyAustralia have made this challenging by falsely marketing polluting products as ‘carbon neutral’.
In a landmark development, our legal action led to a settlement where EnergyAustralia publicly admitted that carbon offsets do not prevent or undo the harms caused by burning fossil fuels. They have ceased offering their 'Go Neutral' product to new customers and removed related marketing from their website.
This is a significant victory against greenwashing, demonstrating the power of parent-led action.
This win has put the industry on notice—but we need your help to keep up the pressure. Join us as we fight for honest climate claims, consumer protection, and a future free from fossil fuel spin.

Energy giant EnergyAustralia had been marketing electricity and gas from fossil fuels as ‘carbon neutral’, claiming they can ‘offset’ that pollution. But so-called ‘offsets’ are a type of marketing spin that enables companies to continue polluting, without making genuine cuts to their pollution.
It’s our job as parents to stand up for our kids, and to teach them there are consequences for misleading behaviour.
So we took EnergyAustralia to court, arguing that they have engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct. In a successful resolution, we forced EnergyAustralia to admit to the key facts of our case through a powerful public statement and an email to its customers. The company admitted that offsets should not be used to delay or diminish the important work needed to actively decarbonise. This outcome sets a precedent, signaling that misleading climate claims will not go unchallenged
While we've made significant progress with EnergyAustralia, the fight against greenwashing continues. We need your support to ensure all energy companies provide transparent and truthful information about their environmental impact.
That’s why we need you - and the people you can connect with - to sign our open letter calling on all power companies to stop greenwashing.
We need all power companies to know we've had enough of greenwashing. Can you sign now?
