LIVE is an acronym for Locals Into Victoria’s Environment.
We are a fast-growing group of several hundred concerned Victorians who are coming together to address detrimental human impacts on the planet, especially the threat of global warming.
Our organization is independent, non-partisan and non-profit. We are based in Melbourne’s City of Port Phillip, an inner Melbourne suburb that includes St Kilda, South Melbourne and Port Melbourne.
LIVE Goals
The primary goals of LIVE are:
raising awareness of the need to protect our world’s vulnerable ecosystem and halt climate change;
encouraging our society’s transition to a more healthy and sustainable economy; and
motivating and supporting others in our community to collectively minimise our ecological footprint.
We believe that when many people join together, our voices become louder and stronger. Local grassroots action CAN make a difference and is needed NOW!
LIVE Methods
LIVE applies polite pressure to all levels of government and industry to demand that meaningful, effective measures be taken immediately to ensure that all environmental costs are accounted for and that Victoria’s unacceptable greenhouse gas emissions, a major contributor to climate change, are reduced starting now.
LIVE supports and works with leading environmental groups and other community based climate change action groups working for a future that is healthy and best for all.
