How can we save this group of century-old trees? How do we ramp up free public transport use in our city? What barriers do we need to remove to ensure our neighbourhood lives into a future of sustainable food production?<\/p>\n\n

A campaign plan will set parameters for ourselves to be able to make choices about tactics. It will help us create strategic moments which put the levers to change in our hands. <\/p>\n\n

What\u2019s the plan? <\/h4>\n\n

A plan will suggest clear objectives and targets within a defined time frame. It gives us measures to judge progress towards our vision of a better world, and can be used as a guide to judge our next steps in a fluid situation. <\/p>\n\n
