#savewesternport

The fabulous @lnixon9 talks to Danny Lacy from @mprg_vic about the equally fabulous @kategorringesmith’s Overwintering Print Project. This is the last week to see the exhibition in Mornington, though I’m sure Kate will continue to find ways to share the works of artists from around Australia and the world with new audiences. Posted @withregram • @kategorringesmith On the telly last Sunday on Channel 9’s Postcards series!!! Thank you @channel9 !!! The exhibition is available to travel by the way, and contributions to the Portfolio are always welcome!

So last Sunday when I was out at Shoreham beach hoping to help #savewesternport I became a finalist in the Art Lovers Australia Art Prize 2019. So that’s pretty nice. SOLD this one now too, but still in the running for the Prize. You could help me out by a vote at https://artloversaustralia.com.au/art-lovers-prize-2019/ Thank you and Stay Kind x @artloversaustralia #artlovers #artistsoninstagram #gallery #exhibition #life #artlife #art #abstract #painting #artprize #microscope #abstractart #painting #bioluminescence #microbiology #dots #cell #aquatic #circle #water #biology #artandscience #ocean #sea #shorehambeach #bigpaddleout https://www.instagram.com/p/BsWfGGNjk5a/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14m96urk4chfb

‘Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.’ Margaret Mead 🕊 Woolley’s beach at Westernport, #morningtonpeninsula has unique wetlands, mangroves and sea grasses which support wading birds, marine life and the eco-systems that support all life and bio-diversity in Westernport. The State government and Mornington Shire council think it’s fine to allow the industrialization of these waters, ‘selling’ it off to a temporary dodgy project proposed by AGL to import LNG gas, with the accompanying pipelines across residences and food growing agricultural areas to Pakenham. Australia will become one of the biggest producers of gas in the world, but AGL see a temporary window of profit making, which will cause irreparable damage to these parts. A short-sighted typical exploitation and plundering project considering wetlands, mangrove and sea grasses are the biggest storers of carbon, which mitigates carbon going into the atmosphere contributing to greenhouse gasses and climate change. I started a page on FB called ‘No AGL gas terminus for Crib Point’ last year, and now a group of us have nearly a thousand signatures, have had articles and front pages in local papers and are moving forward to stop any further destruction of Westerport. 🌿🌏🌿 #savewesternport #gaia #FossilFree #StopAdani #renewables #lockthegate #bassstraight #pakenham #farming #pipelines #environmental #destruction
