    Parents for Climate (formerly Australian Parents for Climate Action) welcomes today’s recommendation by the Productivity Commission that all Australian children be entitled to three days a week of high-quality early education and care.

    “Along with this week’s announcement of the largest single investment in large-scale renewables in Australia’s history by the Albanese government, this has been a good week for every parent concerned for their kids’ futures,” said Parents for Climate CEO, Nic Seton.

    “More clean energy keeps our kids safer, now and into the future. And the benefits of high-quality early education are huge, both for kids and parents.

    Sign the Letter: tell power companies to come clean on greenwashing

    Too many power companies are marketing electricity from fossil fuels as ‘carbon neutral’, claiming they can ‘offset’ that pollution with carbon credits - by paying other people not to pollute, or to plant trees somewhere.

    But using so-called ‘offsets’ as a licence to pollute cheats our kids out of a safe future, and misleads parents who are trying to do buy clean energy.

    We need all power companies to understand we've had enough of their greenwashing. Can you sign our open letter to let them know we won't stand for it?

    To the power companies of Australia,

    We, the undersigned, are parents and other caregivers who care about our kids’ climate.

    Many of us are time-poor, so when we’re trying to choose the best products for our families we rely on companies representing their products honestly.

    And we don’t appreciate being misled.

    If we’re in the supermarket we expect the label to match what’s in the box. And when we buy power we expect the same.

    If your products generate pollution that harms the climate our kids are growing up in, don’t market them to us as ‘green’ or ‘carbon neutral’.

    If you’re misleading us into buying polluting products when we’re trying to buy clean energy, you’re misleading us into harming our kids when we’re trying to protect them.

    It's our job to protect our kids. And it’s our job to teach them there are consequences for misleading behaviour, so we’re taking a stand.

    Advertise the climate impact of your products honestly, so we can make real choices about what we buy.

    And change your business from polluting to clean renewable energy.

    Sincerely, 

    Australian parents, grandparents, carers and family members.

    Enough is enough: we’re suing EnergyAustralia for greenwashing

    As parents who want a safe climate for our kids, we try our hardest to buy clean renewable energy.

    But too many companies are incorrectly marketing polluting products as ‘green’ or ‘carbon neutral’, making it even harder for us to do the right thing by our kids.

    Energy giant EnergyAustralia has 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’re taking EnergyAustralia to court, where we’ll argue that they have engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct. If our case succeeds it will set a new legal precedent in Australia, preventing this kind of marketing spin.
