In  the  wake  of  Victoria’s  warmest  and  driest  winter  on record,  environment  groups  today  called  for  new  building standards  to  reduce  emissions  and  water  use,  and  to  help  the state’s  homes  and  families  cope  with  future  temperature  and price  shocks. 

Premier Brumby has released the first stage of the Victorian Government’s plan - their Climate Change Green Paper.  There is an opportunity to tell the government what you expect them to do on the question of climate change.
