The organisation Slap Tomorrow was launched in June 2013 with a forum to create awareness in the Shepparton Community on the developing climate change issue (see past projects). Slap Tomorrow has continued as an organisation dedicated to keeping the public of Shepparton aware of climate change .
Slap Tomorrow had a substantial influence leading up to Greater Shepparton Greater City Council’s declaring a climate emergency in March 2020
At its September 2024 meeting the members of Slap Tomorrow agreed to discontinue the Incorporated Body called 'Slap Tomorrow' but continue as an informal discussion and advocacy group.
The challenges associated with climate change continue to be a major issue that must be addressed by government bodies at all levels, and we are proud as an organisation to have played a small part in increasing public awareness.
Beyond Zero Emmisions
Ideas about how we slow and eventually eliminate our carbon dioxide emissions were discussed in Shepparton in December 2019.
Beyond Zero Emissions CEO, Vanessa Petrie,spoke publicly on the evening of Thursday, December 5, and the following morning at the Goulburn Valley University of the Third Age.
Through the compilation of many reports, BZE has been able to conclusively demonstrate that Australia can thrive and prosper even when it emissions are at zero or even lower.
