MaCCA was formed in early 2007 by residents of Maroondah who believe not enough is being done in Australia to combat dangerous climate change. MaCCA is our response to the urgent need for immediate action, to make swift and significant cuts to our greenhouse gas emissions. We are a diverse group with interests and expertise in teaching, art, project management, community development, small business, corporate business, IT, music, dance, environment, psychology, renewable energy, social work, nursing, ecology and alternative therapies. We believe climate change is a moral issue that has been heavily politicized. We believe it is ethically wrong to pollute and denude the planet, robbing our children and other life forms of a sustainable and healthy world. We aim to refocus the issue positively, by researching facts from credible sources and focusing on equitable and sustainable solutions. We believe that once people know the truth and understand their options, they will act.

Congratulations to MaCCA, and to all the people who assisted and supported us in a fantastic drive to help keep climate change on the election agenda. The combined efforts of aware and committed people in Maroondah and its environs, surveying, letterboxing, organising events, participating in forums, and lobbying through meetings, letter- writing and radio talk back, has helped to raise awareness of the urgency for real action on climate change. We have helped to promote the facts above the spin. A new sense of hope has emerged. Enjoy our Walk Against Warming photos
