Another successful photo petition day

Well, another successful day collecting photo petitions at the Abbotsford Convent Market.

Plenty of takers, and it is never a hard sell when we ask ‘would you like to send a message to the Government about investment in renewable energy’?

One thing that always makes me smile. So many people initially say ‘Oh, I dont know what to write’, and yet, given a moment, the words seem to flow very easily.

The great thing about this style of campaigning is that it motivates people to have their say, and it gives them an opportunity to get involved in a dialogue with politicians, rather than just receiving messages from them.

After all, you can’t complain about the government unless you have actually told them what you want.
