Phil Freeman speaks at the launch of The First Star
“ACF welcomes the launch of LHMU’s new campaign The First Star. It’s about leadership, collaboration and a ‘can-do’ attitude – all essential factors in solving the climate crisis” said Phil Freeman, Climate Campaigner at the ACF.
“We know that luxury hotels have the potential to make big improvements in their environmental footprint – with better outcomes for both the planet and workers.
“It’s also clear that our natural icons like the Great Barrier Reef, and tens of thousands of tourism jobs that depend on them are at risk – if we let the climate crisis spiral out of control.
“We see practical and outcomes-oriented campaigns like The First Star as the natural next step in our successful alliance with the ACTU – the Southern Cross Climate Coalition.
“We know that Australian workers and their unions want to be part of the solution to the climate crisis. We look forward to seeing The First Star hit the ground, and helping to make it a success,” says Phil Freeman.
