The campaign to Save the Mary River from the proposed Traveston Dam has just launched an exciting new initiative to inform Brisbane residents about the importance of preserving the river... and why the dam will not solve their water woes.
The initiative, called 'From my family... to yours' encourages people who live near the Mary River (from Maleny to Hervey Bay) to send a copy of the beautiful new book 'Love, Mary' to a randomly selected Brisbane family, along with a letter of explanation.
The letter has a very personal message to people in Brisbane - It’s an appeal to read the book and share it with friends and family. We’re asking them to stand with us and not let the Qld government destroy a vital river in their name.
Brisbane families have changed so much about how they use water. They’ve installed tanks, changed their habits and care deeply about where their water comes from. The fact that they’ve made these changes means the damming of the Mary at Traveston Crossing is not necessary. The popularity of the Traveston Crossing dam proposal has been in steady decline as people in Brisbane gain a greater understanding of the unsuitability of the site for a dam and the environmental consequence.
The Save the Mary River Coordinating Group has committed to pay the postage on all books heading to Brisbane as part of this initiative... so all you need to do is purchase a 'From my family...' pack which includes a copy of the book, the letter, a pre-paid envelope, and a random page of addresses from the Brisbane White Pages.
You can order the packs online at www.savethemaryriver.com/shop , or by visiting the Kandanga No Dam Info Centre beside the historic Kandanga Railway Station (ph. 07 5488 4800).
Many of you receiving this email don't live along the Mary River, so please feel free to forward it to friends or associates who do, who may be interested to take part in this fun and novel project to send our message loud and clear to Brisbane.
Cheers,
Arkin
