Australians in more than 50 cities and towns across the country will take to the streets to Walk Against Warming today.
More than 80,000 thousand people are expected to attend Sydney's Domain to draw attention to the issue of global warming during the election campaign.
In New South Wales, walks are scheduled to take place in the marginal seats of Parramatta, Dobell and Eden Monaro.
The national day of action is to show people want political parties to seriously tackle climate change and global warming.
Dave Sag from Carbon Planet says they will be encouraging marchers to think about personal responsibility, not just the government's.
“50 per cent of all car journeys in Australia are under five kilometres. That’s just crazy. Any one with two legs can work five kilometres.”
“In fact, the National Heart Foundation recommends people walk seven or eight kilometres, just to maintain a reasonable level of health.”
