About us | Notion

Midwest Carbon Zero was formed by a group of Midwest people who were deeply concerned by climate science and our greenhouse emissions trajectory. It was (and remains) clear that we are not doing enough to reign in the massive carbon pulse.

We recognise the science and the immense challenge our civilisation and biosphere is facing. We are seeing the impacts in our region and they are only going to get worse unless we take drastic action.

Midwest Carbon Zero is an incorporated association in Western Australia. We are based in Geraldton and are run by volunteers.

We welcome new members or you can just subscribe for now. 🙏
