From: Avaaz.org <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Dear friends, Indian billionaire Adani is trying to put a toxic coal complex next to the magical Great Barrier Reef! It's a crazy plan, but we've got a chance to stop it. He's asking the Australian government for one BILLION dollars for the massive coal project that could destroy the sea floor home of turtles and tropical fish. But first an independent panel must approve the loan, and insiders say Indian voices can convince them to block it. It's time to make them feel the heat. Add your name -- and Avaaz will deliver our call to the panel with a massive campaign in the Australian media: Click to save the Great Barrier Reef: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/epically_stupid_plan_ind_b/?tFYWOab&v=500268694&cl=11299861856&_checksum=d87f59c54962e3c970497e4cf893437631e7ad7c9d88d29f163cf67e25d3b737 The Reef is one of our planet's natural wonders but it's dying fast. Scientists say it's literally being cooked to death by waters warmed by climate change. This coal complex is so gigantic it will make warming worse - for the reef and all of us! An Australian minister just said this coal project will help India meet its climate change obligations! But India needs to switch fast to *actual* clean energy like solar and wind -- not invest in new multi-billion coal projects. It's an epically stupid plan. This is a do or die moment for the reef-wrecking coal complex: the company behind it is buried in debt, and without this loan their finances could fall apart. Let's stop the reef-killing deal - add your voice now: Click to save the Great Barrier Reef: https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/epically_stupid_plan_ind_b/?tFYWOab&v=500268694&cl=11299861856&_checksum=d87f59c54962e3c970497e4cf893437631e7ad7c9d88d29f163cf67e25d3b737 Avaaz has mobilised again and again to block financing and support for this coal complex! This could be the last time - let's get an epic win for the planet, and for future generations.
