To win this fight, The Bimblebox Alliance Inc. needs YOU.
Yes, we need funds, but we also need your hearts and minds, your hands-on help, and your connections. Spread the word about this David and Goliath battle for Nature to be valued above and beyond Coal.
Let’s make ‘Bimblebox’ a household word!
• Join us in The Bimblebox Alliance Inc. (TBA) and share your particular skills. IT? Social Media? Clerical? Numerical? We are all volunteers, trying our best to meet this challenge, but we can’t all be multi-skilled, and we can certainly use more help!
• Write to your local papers (if you still have one) and to any major papers that take letters to the editor. See the Bimblebox Fact Sheet for backup, and express how you feel about this coal mine proposal, and about a dedicated Nature Refuge being offered up for a coal project – whether Bimblebox or any private ‘protected’ area.
• Call your local talkback radio shows and share your opinions about what is being proposed for Bimblebox. If this state significant ‘protected area” is mined, nowhere is safe!
• Write to your politicians so they know how you feel about this; ask them what their stance is on private ‘protected’ areas not being exempt from mining, on the impacts this project might have, on water, on habitat, on climate change…! Let them know this is a major issue of concern for you, and will influence your votes. Call or visit your local MP!
• Share our Facebook posts. Look out for our FrogsFriday features across social media, showcasing the diversity of Bimblebox.
• Share our tweets (Twitter handle @BimbleboxNR) and use our hashtags, #SaveBimblebox, #NatureNotCoal, #FrogsFriday and #Valuing Nature.
• Donate to our fighting fund.
• Buy for Bimblebox: beautiful all-year-round Bimblebox calendars, our great logo bags and T-shirts, the book: Bimblebox – A Nature Refuge under Siege, the DVD…
• Markets: post-Covid, run a tell-and-sell market stall, with Bimblebox goods and info and stickers; clean out the garage and sell bric-a-brac, old tools, books or whatever to raise funds forthe fight.
• Tell your story: whenever you can, share with people why you care about Bimblebox and are helping to fight for its survival.
• Volunteer for hands-on help at Bimblebox; more help is always need to care for and nurture the living treasures there, to weed, to manage areas and the small cattle herd.
However you choose to help, thank you!
