ABOUT THE BOOK

Australia is on the front lines. It’s going to take a massive, all-hands-on-deck effort to turn this around, and it can be overwhelming thinking about where to start.

Claire tells stories of people all around Australia who are making a difference, and they come from every walk of life: food producers, sportspeople, financiers, psychologists, First Nations people, entrepreneurs, public servants, scientists, teachers, actors, farmers, students and retirees.

Together We Can is an invitation to anyone worried about what climate change means in uncertain times, and a challenge to take action that reconnects our communities, transforms our country and is hopeful and empowering.

Half the royalties from Together We Can got to Groundswell, a home-grown organisation that supports climate action.

Dymocks Joondalup will be selling Together We Can, and Claire will be available for book signing.

Cost $5.00. Book and pay online. For further information call 94004751.

The presentation will run for approximately one hour, and refreshments are provided.
