Thanks for saving Bylong!

Please write a very short message, in your own words, to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for rejecting the risky Bylong coal mine. Congratulate them for listening to the experts and protecting this incredible area for its rich soils, precious groundwater and unique heritage values. This means the historic Tarwyn Park property, the home of Natural Sequence Farming, will not be mined.

Thank you so much for making the right decision on this. Great to see that the wellbeing of the people and planet has been prioritised over short-term profit. Let’s employ people in sustainable energy solutions instead.

Thanks again

Thank you very much for saving Bylong! Wow, now save the others and do not think about starting any more…like everyone else I want a better future for everyone. Put the money towards sustainability, wind farms, dams and all the other good stuff!

Thank you. Now stop the rest in Australia before our farmland and future are destroyed. We need clean energy with the advancement in nuclear energy, the way is forward, not backward.

Excellent decision. Following Gloucester, and may any further applications go the same way!!! NSW is NOT going to become a series of linked coal mines, is it? Please hold the line, from now on.

We have real fears for the world our kids are likely to inherit. Thanks for ignoring the greedy vested interests and acting with common sense and decency.

Yet we need so much more action of this type if we are to pull it back. So for the love of all that is good and precious to you, don’t hesitate – we are rapidly running out of time! Thank you
