Students "urged to spread climate awareness"

Indoctrination Alert: The New South Wales government is urging school students to "spread awareness of climate change after Earth Hour this weekend."

NSW Deputy Premier and Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, Carmel Tebbutt, said the 2009 Beyond Earth Hour Challenge would encourage students to conduct energy audits and raise climate change awareness.

"These are significant savings that have made a huge impact thanks to a few simple measures," Ms Tebbutt said.

"The challenge calls for schools to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and make energy savings aimed at fostering a culture of sustainability."
