Young People Doing Amazing Things:

YOUTH DECIDE '09: Tristian Haberley joined Kate and Sarah in the studio to let us know about a current Australian Youth Climate Coalition event called Youth Decide. Youth Decide '09 will give 4.8 million young Australians, who will be the most impacted by climate change, the opportunity to vote on the action they want global leaders to take at the United Nations climate change negotiations to be held in Copenhagen in December. Tristian encourages you to vote online between 14-21 September. www.youthdecide.com.au
