Everyone wants to do the right thing, especially when it comes to looking after the planet. Joining Climakind provides a way for everyone to make a positive impact by supporting a price on carbon and reducing carbon emissions. A way that helps speed up the transition to a low-carbon future; a better future for all our children.
I know that it is important to reduce our carbon footprint, but it is not enough. To really help stop the severe consequences of climate change mankind needs to make deep cuts in the amount of carbon dioxide we pump into the atmosphere.
The world is already at breaking point.
The changing climate is everyone’s problem. We cannot wait for someone else to fix it. Governments are locked in a battle of scare mongering and stalling. Politics got in the way of an Australian framework to reduce emissions leaving little incentive for business to change their ways.
It is tragic to think that we know the risks of using fossil fuels but we move slowly to change our ways. A lot of people complain that it is a problem, but they are unsure what to do. What is the best way to reduce carbon emissions? Climakind provides a solution. Hearing Paul Gilding refer to cancelling carbon emission credits as the ‘most pure’ way to reduce emissions gives arms length credibility to the Climakind initiative.
Through initiatives such as Climakind we can have a real impact in the amount of carbon dioxide emitted by industry. By buying and cancelling carbon emission credits we are stealing away the rights of industry to emit carbon dioxide. The less carbon dioxide that industry are allowed to emit the faster they will have to find low-carbon alternatives. The quicker we shift to a low-carbon future.
Do more than a little bit to help stop damaging climate change. Be Climakind.

The name is intended to say it all: Bassike, a label of lust-worthy proportions born out of the simple desire to provide wardrobe staples that could be worn with ease (and a certain degree of non-chalance). The brainchild of close friends Deborah Sams and Mary Lou Ryan, it stepped onto the Antipodean design scene in July 2006.
From that point on, it has flourished; and what began as a breezy collection of organic cotton-jersey T-shirts, dresses and trousers has since rounded out into more softly tailored territory. The intention however, lives on: current, eternal and effortless, each piece is designed to work seperately but also in conjunction and although new styles have been added - namely wool, jersey, cotton shirting, denim and leather - beauty still belongs to the wearer. With Bassike, personal style resonates.
Three years on, the cult-label is stocked in premium retailers throughout Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the UK and Europe. It is also available through the online boutique.
Sustainable focus
Bassike is commited to a low carbon production. The clothing is manufactured locally and the material is organic.
Bassike is working with Climakind to develop a carbon management plan, EmissionsAware, to help reduce our demand on energy and the carbon emissions from operations.

I believe that climate change is THE most serious issue that humanity has ever faced.
The global temperature increase caused by our combined historical emissions is already approaching 1°C. We're already committed to a further global temperature increase; but by acting now it may be possible to keep the rise below 2°C. This is vital if we are to reduce the risk of catastrophic damage to the Earth's ecosystems. Deep cuts in emissions are urgently required: we must act NOW.
Tomorrow isn't just another day; it may be a day too late.
As well as being 'Climakind' I make efforts to reduce my own carbon emissions -- for instance, I have vowed never again to fly on a commercial airliner; I'll take the train and/or boat instead. I'm not asking you to do that; but I do ask you to consider what you might be able to do to help us all.
Please join me. Together we can make a difference.
I hope.
