Dear Friend,

Climate change is so much in the news these days that we’ve probably all been wondering what we can do.

Well, here is an opportunity to do something positive to help our environment and make our own lives better at the same time.

On the world’s first Climate Change Day on December 1^st 2006 you can help make a BIG improvement to two interlinked climates that matter to us all:

• our earth’s climate
• our human climate

For the Climate Change Day campaign, thousands of people around the world are making pledges to:

• reduce their personal greenhouse gas emissions
• spend quality time boosting their human climate – i.e., enhancing their own inner wellbeing, or adding to the lives of people in their family, neighbourhood or workplace.

It’s easy! Climate Change Day has collated a myriad of examples that show just how simple it can be to make a BIG difference.

Why is it all so important?

Climate change and global warming affect us all. Changes in weather patterns, polar ice caps melting, rising sea levels and climbing temperatures are likely to displace millions of people, create massive changes in agriculture and threaten our treasured natural environments.

On the human front, at no other time has our race had to face such epidemic proportions of people suffering from depression, stress, poverty, conflict, drug abuse, obesity, chronic loneliness and youth suicide.

The good news it that there are simple things that YOU can do right now to slow down global warming and to transform the global human crisis.

Please visit the climate change website and make a difference today!

The Australian International Exhibition of the Badge and the Logo and Coat of Arms

Adelaide 8 - 10 December 2006

Dear Exhibitors and community members

This year Rev Dr Jonathan Barker minister of the Pilgrim Uniting Church is honouring us by inviting us to move into their neighbourhood by participating in the annual "Who is your neighbour program" by showing Neshan in the Flinders Street church. in Adelaide . Take this unique opportunity to explore your own neighbourhood by sharing the badges and their story which you have collected. Meet the jews, muslims, christians, buddhists, journalists, politicians, writers, artists, socialists, women, peace activists, environmentalists, communists, unionists, young and older people so we can live together as neighbours in a better environment.

I want to invite you to join with me in:

“THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF THE BADGE AND THE LOGO AND COAT OF ARMS”

Please supply a Badge and/or Logo of your own creation, or an existing Badge and/or Logo – to exhibit your views on an issue close to your heart.

1. The Badge/Logo should illustrate or represent your view (or organizational view) dealing with issues of importance in such areas as the Environment, Human Rights, Illicit Drug Abuse, War and Peace, Violence in the home, Religious or Sexual or Ethnic Intolerance, or any other issue of importance to our communities, society and the world. But please don’t be constrained by this sample list.If there are other issues of a more personal nature please let your views be seen. For example, Amnesty International has a well-known logo of a candle circled by barbed wire that was inspired by the Chinese proverb: “Better to light a candle than curse the darkness”.

2. Also,any badges that you have to exhibit with a written story of each badge, the badges will be exhibited under your name. If you don’t know the story of the badge you are still welcome to participate or you can write up to one page(you choose the number of words and the format) for all the badges you would like to exhibit.

After the exhibition has finished touring, the badges will be returned to the exhibitors if required. If not, the badges will be donated to the National Museum of Australia as a commemoration of the injury to society sustained in these years.

The Exhibition has had a successful showing in Canberra and Binalong with many people showing interest. It is my intent to show this exhibition nationally in Melbourne , Hobart , Perth , Darwin , Brisbane and Sydney as well as regionally. It may tour internationally.

As a result of the exhibition the material will be compiled into a series of research books for students of Iconography, Politics and History.

If you wish to participate in this travelling exhibition please supply:

• Badges/logos or coat of arms which describes something of importance to you
• Write a short statement describing the motivation behind the badge/logo/coat of arms.
• Entries to be supplied by 30 November 2006
